Areas of Study

Undergraduate music degrees are offered in both music education and music performance. Students may choose to study with talented artist-faculty in brass, woodwind, percussion, string, keyboard, or voice. The Bachelor of Music degree in performance may be completed with composition or music technology as a major as well. An innovative curriculum in fundamental music skills provides a solid foundation in music theory, history and analysis. The music education track leads to certification in K-12 instrumental and vocal music. The performance track includes other professional music courses as well as ample opportunities to perform as a soloist, in chamber groups, or in a variety of other small and large ensembles.

The Master of Music degree is divided into two tracks: Music Education and Music Performance. The Music Performance track is a thirty-hour program emphasizing performance and applied music. Opportunities for internships and performances with local professional organizations are enjoyed by UNO graduate students. The Music Education track is available in both a thirty-hour thesis and a thirty-six hour non-thesis option. Both options emphasize pedagogy and practical applications of musical skills and research for teachers at all levels.
