BM in Composition

University of Cincinnati

Composing is the act of creating original music. It draws upon both intuitive and intellectual talents, challenging the student to write music of value to performers, audiences, and other composers. A degree in music composition prepares the student for a career as a composer in musical genres of his/her choice and talent orientation. It also provides skills for the preparation of scores, music technology, and the performance of works by others as well as a broad understanding of and appreciation for the art of music. Students also gain skills in critical thinking.
