Program Description

Students in the program will work at developing technique and expressivity. The curriculum contains coursework that addresses the essentials of pitch, rhythm, meter, tension and relaxation, and formal structure. Students will become comfortable in both electronic and acoustic media and gain fluency in speaking and writing. Students need to take two years of instrumental lessons. Most often, students take piano lessons (you don’t have to audition for the piano studio). If you wish to have lessons on an instrument other than piano, you need to take an instrumental audition in order to be accepted into a studio. 

Admission Requirements

• Graduates should submit scores and, when possible, recordings for at least three (3) substantial original works, preferably composed for different performance media (for instance, a chamber ensemble work, choral piece, or orchestra score). Up to two compositions may be electronic works. Neatness and legibility of scores will be considered. Scores and recordings MUST be uploaded to Acceptd. Recordings of performances are greatly preferred, although MIDI representations are acceptable.
• Graduates are also required to submit two letters of recommendation by persons familiar with your work, a résumé including a complete list of compositions (include title, duration, and instrumentation for each work), and a statement of your professional goals. All of these items MUST be uploaded to Acceptd - hard copies will not be accepted.
