Overview

The Music program at Johns Hopkins University requires between 30 and 50 credit hours.

Key Features

At the end of the program, students will be able to:

Display excellence, independence, and critical sophistication as a performer.

Write effectively about music: developing an argument, identifying appropriate primary and secondary sources, and using precise analytical vocabulary.

Display fluency in reading scholarly writing, demonstrating the ability to distill the main points of an author’s arguments, commenting critically on the content and structure of the text, and relating scholarship to the repertoire studied.

Develop specific and appropriate points of connection between scholarship and performance, actively seeking ways to enhance one’s work as a performer through scholarship.

Navigate the realities and responsibilities of being a successful 21st-century citizen-artist.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Each student taking applied music must demonstrate satisfactory progress as determined by the faculty. Study in the major field must continue through the last semester of enrollment. For most students, this will consist of four semesters of lessons.

Every performance major must play a recital or a hearing in every year of study. Lessons and recitals are the essential learning modalities of a conservatory education, but are also for-credit classes that require grades of at least a B- for students to maintain satisfactory academic progress. A student who does not play a recital or hearing is not considered to be making satisfactory academic progress.
