Overview

About the school

Degree programs in the School of Music take into consideration the dual nature of music. First, music is a creative art requiring constant renewal through the efforts of composers, performers, and teachers. Second, it is a branch of the humanities, subject to scholarly study and interpretation of its theoretical concepts and historical development.

Advanced study at the graduate level offers students a rich environment in which to pursue studies in either the performance or academic area in greater depth. This Master of Music degree is offered at the University of Washington.
