B.M. in Performance
The B. Mus. Degree puts primary emphasis on the skills, concepts, and sensitivities essential to the life of the performing musician. While our department offers many performing opportunities for all our students, the B. Mus. Curriculum requires intensive energy, preparation and dedication to the applied music performance area and supporting coursework. Many B. Mus. graduates continue their development through graduate study.
