Graduate Degree Program
M.Mu. in Music Performance
A student’s Master of Music Performance degree program is determined by the student in coordination with the student’s graduate advisory committee. Each graduate student’s program is designed to support the student’s individual professional interests and aspirations, consistent with program requirements. The Master of Music Performance degree program emphasizes academic achievement and superior musicianship through music performance. In addition to the curriculum, recitals and concerts provide students with a variety of musical experiences and performance opportunities.
M.Mu. Music Performance Degree Requirements
Students must complete the following:
- Performance audition, demonstrating knowledge and ability in solo literature of various historical periods and styles. Audition may be either a live performance or a performance recorded and submitted in an unedited video format (DVD or online).
- Diagnostic examinations in music theory and history. These diagnostic exams identify strengths and deficiencies in music theory, music history and music literature. Applicants will be accepted from any accredited institution; however, before admission to a degree program, all students (including UAF or UAA baccalaureate graduates) must take these preliminary examinations.
