Music Composition

About

Overview The classes of the Music Composition program of Stetson University introduce a vast range of contemporary music almost every semester, encouraging you to analyze, create and perform new music. Your coursework for the Music Composition degree culminates with a 25-minute recital of your original compositions performed in concert.Stetson composers have the opportunity to study individually with Sydney Hodkinson, PhD, Almand Chair of Composition, and Manuel de Murga, PhD, Director of Composition. The School of Music is a collegial setting that provides opportunities for you to hear your works performed by excellent musicians, featuring reading sessions with Stetson ensembles.Career OutlookThe demand for talent is always high, and students graduating with a Bachelor of Music degree, whether in composition, performance or theory, will discover career paths aligned to their specific talents and capabilities. Some students go on to more in-depth study in graduate programs, and some find their calling by bringing music to their communities and schools. The Career Insight tool is built on a national database of job openings, postings and requirements, but for many students in Stetson's School of Music, career connections are made during their course of study and through their practice and performance, and with the guidance of their faculty and colleagues. Approximately one-third of positions related to performing arts and teaching ask for a Bachelor's degree, and nearly half of all openings are for candidates with one to two years of experience — a good indication there is demand for music graduates.
