专业介绍

Designed for students seeking to develop into a highly-qualified professional composer, through intensive study with major artist-teachers, this program is a rigorous three-year course of study that offers an exceptional musical education (technique, score study, diversity of programming, rigor in the depth and breadth of repertoire), encourages collaborations, and emphasizes personal and musical growth. Composition students will create many opportunities to work with performers, conductors and ensembles of varying size and repertoire focus, and develop new uses of music technology. The DMA culminates with the composition of an original large-scale dissertation.
