Bachelor of Music in Performance

A Bachelor of Music in Performance prepares students for careers in musical performance and equips them for private teaching after graduation. Performance coursework focuses on applied lessons, conducting, and performance pedagogy in addition to the music theory and music history classes common to all Bachelor of Music majors. Many students choose to pursue graduate studies. Students choose a concentration in jazz performance, piano performance, piano performance (pedagogy emphasis) organ performance, instrumental performance (winds, strings, or percussion), or vocal performance. In addition, to the performance degree requirements, students must successfully complete a sophomore barrier examination to progress to the junior level of applied study.
