Master of Music in Ethnomusicology

Bowling Green State University

The Master of Music degree program is designed to prepare musicians to practice their specialization in the changing environment of current American music culture. The program encompasses eleven emphases: music composition, music education, music history, ethnomusicology, music performance, collaborative piano, conducting, jazz studies, piano pedagogy, vocal pedagogy, and music theory. The music education emphasis features seven specializations-Plan I: Comprehensive, Instrumental, or Choral Music Education and Plan II: Comprehensive, Instrumental, Choral Music, and online Teaching Artistry. Music performance majors may select from ten options: choral conducting, orchestral conducting, voice, voice science and pedagogy, piano, piano pedagogy, collaborative piano, jazz studies, instrumental performance, and instrumental specialist. The instrumental specialist option consists of a concentration in a major instrument and at least two minor instruments within the brass, strings, and woodwind areas. Considerable flexibility is permitted within an individual program to meet the special needs of students.
