Statement of Purpose

The Master of Music (M.Mus.) degree program offers students the opportunity to pursue an advanced degree in the Department of Music. Faculty who are practicing artists and experts in the field provide an environment grounded in a traditional music education, while encouraging students to study broadly and find their own creative voice. The M.Mus. program allows graduate students to concentrate in an artistic discipline, to build a program of individual study, and to synthesize their work into a personalized artistic expression.
