MUSIC-MA - Music

The MA program in music offers students an opportunity to grow as musicians by refining their skills as scholars, teachers and performers. The department encourages its’ graduate students to take courses both of a broad scope and of a detailed nature. Performance students are permitted to take private lessons for up to 12 credits with a Hunter College faculty member or one of the instructors who serve as performance associates on the faculty (see http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/music/grad-students/courseinfo/lessons for details). Students may also study with an outside teacher of their choice, pending approval by the department. The Cutler Scholarships in Orchestral Performance offers new opportunities for MA students who qualify to be leaders in the orchestral and chamber music programs.

The Department of Music offers courses of study leading to the MA degree, with concentrations in composition, ethnomusicology, musicology, music theory, and performance. Modifications to these programs may be made in consultation with the graduate adviser.
