Graduate degrees include the M.A. in Musicology and Musicology with Performance, the Ph.D. in Musicology, and the M.Mus. in Performance and in Composition. We believe that performance is the core of a musical education. For this reason, every B.Mus. student, no matter what his or her major, studies a principal instrument for four years and performs frequently in the many concerts offered by the School.
Every student also participates in chamber ensembles under faculty coaching.
Instruction is provided in all orchestral instruments as well as in piano, voice, organ, harpsichord, saxophone, and classical guitar. Jazz has recently become an area of much more active interest within the School. Several courses in jazz are now offered and opportunities for performance have increased. Electronic and computer music are also important parts of the School's offerings.
