Master of Music in Jazz Composition

UT Arlington also offers the Masters of Music in Jazz Composition. Students develop mastery in writing for various ensembles, both large and small. Flexibility within the degree allows students to focus in traditional big band, small group writing, studio orchestra, or more modern genre-blending compositional techniques. UT Arlington’s jazz and classical ensembles provide for opportunities to hear your work. Through an informal partnership with the American Jazz Composers Orchestra, one of Dallas Fort Worth’s premiere big bands, there is opportunity for professional performances of your work. As with the MM in Jazz Performance, students earning the MM in Jazz Composition are credentialed to teach at community colleges and some universities
