Overview
What you will learn
A performance major is a student primarily focused on the mastery of their primary instrument or voice type. This major is rooted in Western classical music, the orchestra, opera, and classical chamber music. Students can major in performance while pursuing the Bachelor of Music degree, the Master of Music degree, or the Doctor of Musical Arts degree.
Over the course of the Classical Performance MM program offered at University of Memphis, students will work closely with their major teacher, who acts as a mentor and gateway to future professional opportunities. The performance major must give multiple recitals as part of their degree plan. Performance majors play flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, percussion, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, piano, harpsichord, organ, violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, or voice. Performance majors are not required to play in marching band at the University of Memphis.
