With master teachers, many of whom are renowned performers, graduate students take applied music studies in keyboard, guitar, orchestral instruments and voice. Students perform in a variety of ensembles which rank among the finest in the country by virtue of the quality of concerts, recordings, broadcasts, tours and repertoire. There are several tracks and concentrations within the M.M. in Performance: Orchestral Instrument Track (including saxophone and euphonium), Piano Track, Collaborative Piano Concentration, Piano Pedagogy Concentration, Vocal Track, Organ Track, Guitar/Electric Bass Track, and Concentration in Jazz Studies. Collaborative Piano Emphasis: The emphasis in collaborative piano is designed for the advanced pianist who wishes to make accompanying and chamber music a career focus. Students may elect a concentration in either instrumental collaboration and chamber music or vocal collaboration and coaching. Each track will include practical experience in the appropriate instrumental or vocal studios and ensembles. Piano Pedagogy Emphasis: May include a fourth semester of applied piano or courses in pedagogy (such as Piano Pedagogy I and II), music theory, music history and literature, music technology, or other related courses in consultation with the advisor. Organ Performance: The organ performance major parallels that of the major in sacred music, except that courses and electives pertaining to sacred music will be replaced with others appropriate to the student's needs and wishes, but subject to the approval of the Chair of Organ.
