Performance and Pedagogy Major

Master of Music Program

For Western instruments, Thai/Eastern instruments, as well as Music Theater students, the Performance and Pedagogy major prepares students for a career as a performer/pedagogue.

As a student majoring in performance, you will declare a principal instrument. The performance program will teach you skills, concepts, and methodology sufficient to demonstrate a level of proficiency on your principal instrument typical of that generally required in professional performance. This is achieved through private lessons, which include proficiency-based final exams, instrumental or vocal labs, and performance studies classes.
