At Hunter College, we prepare graduate students for professional careers in music. Our aim is to foster thoughtful and resourceful writers, composers, performers, and teachers who magnify music’s power to positively impact communities.
At completion of a graduate degree, students in the following concentrations will be able to:
- Demonstrate the knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to deliver thoughtful, high quality music instruction to a diverse population of Pre-K – 12 students. (M.A. in Music Education “TEP”)
- Demonstrate advanced skills and artistry at a professional level with both solo and ensemble music, as demonstrated in private lessons, juries, and public performances. (Music Performance)
- Identify and apply ethnomusicological concepts and methodological tools of ethnomusicology research. (Ethnomusicology)
