The Master of Music (M.M.) is a professional degree that provides students with both the technical skills required for success in the field and a broad knowledge base in music theory, history, and literature. Specific emphases are available in Composition, Conducting, Music Therapy, Performance, and Performance and Pedagogy. The M.M. with an emphasis in Performance and Pedagogy provides the student with the technical ability required for professional-level performance of vocal or instrumental music and an interpretive understanding of the appropriate body of repertoire while also providing strong practical knowledge in the teaching of music to others. It provides the broad knowledge base in music theory, history, and literature found in all M.M. degrees and is available for study on any instrument in which an M.M. in Performance is offered.
