Master of Music

The M.M. degree in Music is designed to promote outstanding achievement in both performance and intellectual development. For many students, the M.M. is their final professional degree. Many of our students, however, wish to pursue doctoral degrees and/or specialized diplomas after completing the M.M. At SDSU School of Music and Dance, we strive to prepare our graduate students for the highest attainments in the field of music.

As an integral part of our mission, we commit ourselves to continuing steps toward realizing the full potential of community, both as teachers and as colleagues; further, we commit to interaction with our students that emphasizes personal attention and interest in their total musical/intellectual development.

• To provide and nurture a nucleus of musical life for the larger community;
• To educate the university student population regarding music’s intrinsic value as a part of the human experience and its central role in human culture; and
• To mutually encourage one another in professional growth and attainment
