The Artist Diploma in Performance exists for the few highly gifted and experienced performing musicians at the post-master’s level who wish to pursue focused studies in their major field leading to specific professional goals. The program is designed to develop both the artistry and professionalism in performers who possess the ability and determination to realize their talent in the contemporary world.
Curriculum
Instruction and assignments, which include private lessons, departmental studies and performance, are directed by the dean in consultation with the major teacher and department chair.
Review and Evaluation
Students in the Artist Diploma in Performance are evaluated by a faculty committee chaired by the dean. During the fall semester, the committee will review students’ statements of artistic and professional goals as well as professional portfolio contents. Early in the second semester, a determination will be made regarding the suitability of the student’s continuing in the program for a second year.
