The Composition/Arrangement program is a non-consecutive, specialized two-year master’s program. A Bachelor of Music in an instrument or a Bachelor of Music in voice or an equivalent degree such as a diploma is an admission requirement.

The program shapes the students’ individual sound vocabulary and personal styles, as well expanding their technical skills and craftsmanship. The goal is to enable students to position themselves as artists in today’s music scene while also understanding traditional concepts.

Besides courses for the major, the program also includes obligatory courses in ensemble conducting/conducting and instrumentation.
