Students who want to major in music composition at Eastern should enroll in the Music Performance Option with a Composition Emphasis. Composition majors receive one-on-one instruction in composition and on their primary instrument. Composition recitals featuring the student's work are given in lieu of performance recitals on an instrument. In addition, Composers' Forum concerts that showcase the work of all student composers regardless of their major are given at the end of each semester. Any compositional styles are acceptable.
Peter Hesterman and Jonathon Kirk direct and advise students in their composition studies.
