Music Major, Performance Concentration (Keyboard Primary) (B.Mus.) - Undergraduate - 2012 University Catalog

You are viewing the 2012 University Catalog. Please see the newest version of the University Catalog for the most current version of this program's requirements.

The B.Mus. program in Performance prepares students for careers as performing musicians. Concentrations are available in piano, organ, and harpsichord. Students must give at least two recitals and perform in a variety of ensembles, and often have opportunities for outside work as well. Students are expected to accompany at an appropriate level and to participate actively in the musical life of Montclair State and the community.

The Music Performance Program is focused on the mastery of performance skills. The student must demonstrate outstanding ability on his or her instrument, and must be highly motivated toward high standards of achievement in performance. The performance faculty and staff work closely with individual students, with the aim of nurturing each musician's technical and artistic growth.

Those interested in pursuing a professional career as a performer often continue directly into graduate study upon completion of the undergraduate degree. The same is true of students interested in securing a position as an applied music teacher at a college or university. Some graduates create their own teaching studios, and become vital and active teachers and performers in their community.
