Bachelor of Music (Composition)
The Bachelor of Music degree in Composition provides
comprehensive training aimed at the development of skills and imagination
necessary to create compelling music in a variety of professional contexts,
as well as in the church and community. The program encourages an openness
to diverse styles and genres, and emphasizes growth in craft and purposeful
creativity. Resources include a state-of-the-art
Digital Music Studio. Concerts of student works are presented at the end of
each semester, and a full composition recital is required in the senior year.
