Overview

The candidate for the MM in Jazz Studies at The City University of New York must be able to demonstrate (1) performance competence as an instrumentalist or vocalist on a high professional level; and (2) practical proficiency as a Jazz Arranger/Composer; and (3) proficiency as an Ensemble and Instrumental or Vocal Coach. Where there are deficiencies in background such as to impede the ability of the student to profit from graduate work, the Graduate Committee will require additional courses to be taken without credit for the removal of such deficiencies. Audition is required.
