The University of Washington's School of Music provides extensive professional training through both performance-focused and research-based degree options. With more than 500 music students enrolled, the school awards various qualifications including Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Master of Arts, Master of Music, Doctor of Musical Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Numerous non-major students also engage in private lessons or join musical ensembles for personal enrichment. The curriculum acknowledges music's dual character: as a living art form that thrives through continuous innovation by composers, performers, and educators, and as an academic discipline within the humanities that demands scholarly examination of its theoretical frameworks and historical evolution. Graduate programs create an intellectually stimulating setting for deeper exploration of either performance or academic research.
