Music BMus - Music Composition



Overview

The Bachelor of Music in Music with an Area of Emphasis in Music Composition provides three years of applied study on a major instrument (years one through three), as well as three years of intensive study in composition (years two through four). Students will be required to participate in seminars which focus on analysis and evaluation of student compositions. The program includes a strong foundation in theory and music literature along with applied study on a secondary instrument. Performance of contemporary music is emphasized. The four years of study culminates with a composition recital that presents a multi-movement or large-form composition for an ensemble of three or more instruments. Students are also required to present recitals in their applied area (vocal or instrumental).
