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 Master of Music (M.M.) with an emphasis in Conducting prepares the graduate to analyze and interpret musical scores, use appropriate rehearsal techniques with various types of musical ensembles, and communicate musical interpretation through appropriate conducting gestures. Students with a major concentration in conducting are prepared to enter the professional field, pursue a higher degree, or teach at the two- or four-year college level.
