The Bachelor of Music in Music Performance degree provides skilled musicians with opportunities to develop expertise as professional performers or composers of solo, chamber and large ensemble music; as directors and performers of church music; or as university-level faculty following graduate study.
Each concentration of the Music Performance degree has special courses or features. In Music Performance (BM) – Voice, students have studio lessons focused toward solo performance recitals in the junior and senior year. Capstone experiences are these two recitals presented on campus.
Students also take the Hayes School of Music's core curriculum: private instrument/voice study, ensemble participation, music theory and aural skills, music history, world music and other musicianship classes. Faculty members for this degree include experts in all individual conservatory instruments, including woodwinds, brass, strings (including guitar and harp), piano and organ, and percussion.
