About the course

By any measure, our composition department consistently ranks among the top programs of its kind in the world. You’ll learn from faculty members committed to providing you with the best educational experience possible. Study with peers eager to help you be your most creative. And have your work performed by some of the best student musicians in the world. Acting individually as teachers and together as a department, our faculty is thoroughly committed to providing the best environment, stimulation, training, and opportunities for composers like you. Each academic year, in addition to a number of organized collaborations, special projects, and ad hoc events, we schedule eight general student composition recitals and two focusing on works created at the Center for Electronic and Computer Music. With the Jacobs School's unparalleled performing resources, you can look forward to performances of your music for instruments, voice, and electronics in solo, chamber, and large ensemble settings. Toward the end of your degree program, you will present an individual recital of music composed during your residency on campus. By the time you graduate, having built a solid portfolio of scores and recordings, and learning through a wealth of experiences interacting with the Jacobs community and visitors from the profession, you will be well prepared for the next step on your journey.
