Music, M.M. - Performance Emphasis
The Master of Music is a flexible program that allows the
student to concentrate in his/her area of specialization in a
program that develops performing and creative skills while
providing the student with a deeper and more comprehensive
understanding of his/her area than can be obtained on the
undergraduate level.
The Master of Music with an emphasis in performance includes
two main areas of specialization; applied performance
and conducting. Those students with a particular interest in
Music Theatre can be accommodated within either the applied
or the conducting emphasis.
