Master of Music [M.Mus] From Curtis Institute of Music

A Bachelor of Music degree or equivalent is required for degree candidacy. In the last semester, the dean of vocal studies, dean of faculty and students, and president will evaluate the progress and course of study of each student.

Incoming students will be counseled by the department faculty, who will suggest ways of remedying any weakness in theoretical, aural, or language skills. Voice teacher selection will be made by the student with the approval of the dean of vocal studies and the president. Emphasis in the opera program is on performing and developing performance skills. Typically the Curtis Opera Theatre performs three productions each year with the Curtis Symphony Orchestra or Curtis Chamber Orchestra.
