The organization of the Performance Project will vary, depending on the repertory of music on the program, and the career goals and interests of the student. The Project must include program notes between 1000 and 1500 words. The student’s primary applied teacher/advisor is responsible for approving the program notes.
The Graduate Committee for each student will include the primary advisor and three Unit A faculty. The primary advisor may be one of the three Unit A faculty members. The student will meet with the Grad Coordinator to select the Grad Committee. The student will meet with each committee member at the beginning of the final semester to discuss their topic for the Oral Exam, and each committee member and student will agree upon a topic. A maximum of three topics will be covered at the Oral Exam. (Appropriate topics might include performance practice, pedagogical, historical, or interpretive approaches to music.)
