Composition
Statement of Purpose
The
composition major
prepares the student for a career
that involves film and concert composition, arranging, music
production, and music entrepreneurship. Students are prepared
with a solid foundation of musicianship that encompasses
theory and aural skills, conducting, and instrumental or vocal
performance. This foundation is then built upon through intensive
studies in composition and technology that prepares students to
be composers of the 21st century.
