The first two years of the degree revolve around each student’s Primary Study (or principle instrument), which includes 4 hours of weekly instruction: 1 hour individual instruction, 1 hour group instruction, and 2 hours of ensemble instruction. Parallel to this intensive study on their primary instruments, our students receive professional training in keyboard and aural skills, harmony and theory, music history, and choral singing. During their final two years of study, our students must complete seven courses in one of the four following concentrations: Classical Performance: this consists of two more years of Advanced Primary Study, as well as courses in performance practice, analysis, and composition. Jazz Performance: this also consists of two more years of Advanced Primary Study, along with courses in applied jazz harmony, improvisation, and jazz composition. Music Education: students in this course gain practical and theoretical knowledge of various methodologies for teaching music to children, including actual teaching experience in local schools. Creative Music Technology: this concentration trains students to compose and create new musical works with the aid of the latest advances in computers and music technology.
