Degree Conferred:
M.M. (MUSC)

Areas of Concentration: Applied music, accompanying, composition, theory, instrumental and vocal conducting, music history, and music education.

Prerequisites to Degree Program: To enter one of these programs, students should apply to the Director of Graduate Studies in Music for the specific degree program in which they are interested. Students wishing to change from one degree program or major applied area to another must also apply to the Director of Graduate Studies in Music. The Department Chair and the Director of Graduate Studies in Music, in consultation with the faculty of the specific area, determine acceptance, provisional acceptance contingent on the making up of specific deficiencies, or rejection of the student for admission to the degree program in the specific area of concentration.

Requirements for the Master of Music Degree: In addition to the general requirements of the Graduate School the following must be met:

1. All students seeking admission to the program for the degree of Master of Music must show evidence of satisfactory proficiency in aural and written theory, and in music history and literature. This shall be done by means of an aural and written theory and history diagnostic examination administered by the department. Any student who has not demonstrated satisfactory proficiency in these areas prior to entrance will be registered in remedial or refresher courses in the first semester of residence.

2. Applicants in applied music will present a repertoire (instrumental or vocal) corresponding to that required for the degree of Bachelor of Music at the University of Arkansas. Applicants from other schools will submit an audition recital; this may be done by recording.

3. Applicants in theory and composition will submit scores on the Graduate Record Exam in Music.

4. Applicants in composition will submit scores of at least three of their compositions.

In addition to the general requirements, the following must be met:

1. Applicants must pass a keyboard proficiency examination upon entrance or register in appropriate keyboard courses until this requirement is met. This exam tests the student's ability to use the keyboard as a tool within the framework of professional activities; thus the requirements vary in emphasis according to the area of major study and degree plan. The test may be taken at the end of any semester, but students must take it before they enter the last semester of study in which they expect to graduate. Keyboard proficiency in figured bass will be required of music history majors in early music performance practice emphasis.

2. Applicants in music history will pass a reading examination in French, German, or Italian and will demonstrate knowledge of common music terms in all three languages before admission to candidacy.

3. In addition to completing the specified requirements, the candidate will take comprehensive written examinations which must be passed before taking the oral examination.

4. The applicant will pass an oral examination.

All candidates for the degree of Master of Music, except those in composition (D.), music theory (E.), and music history (unless pursuing the early music performance option) (F.), must participate in at least one ensemble per semester throughout their residence.
