Master of Music - Performance Orchestral (Project Option)

The Master of Music in Performance (orchestral and keyboard instruments) is an opportunity for students to pursue intensive one-on-one study under the mentorship of experienced scholars and performers. In this program, you will deepen and develop your breadth of knowledge (repertoire, pedagogy) and applied skills (virtuosity, technique, and performance practice). The Master of Music in Performance provides the necessary training for musicians to move into professional work in artistic and academic contexts. In this program, instrumentalists study music from the Classical repertoire—Western art music from the last 500 years. The master’s degree offers performers the opportunity to hone their technical skills, to learn and perform more difficult repertoire, and to prepare for a career in performance and advanced education (or a combination of teaching and performing).
