Core courses in music theory, music history, and research complement individual lessons and specialized courses tailored to meet each student’s career goals. Students preparing for further studies at the doctoral level develop a strong foundation in performance and research, and many recent graduates have been admitted to highly selective doctoral programs at universities and conservatories throughout the world.
