The University of New Mexico is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). Requirements for entrance and graduation as set forth in this Catalog are in accordance with published regulations of NASM.
Degree plans are described below. In addition to stated course requirements, students must satisfy general University requirements for graduation.
Applications are reviewed as they are received, but a prospective student should submit all materials by:
The Department of Music has a number of graduate assistantships and teaching assistantships available. Scholarships are also available for graduate students. To be eligible for consideration, students must submit all application materials by February 1.*
* For application for a brass assistantship, please submit audition recording by December 15th. Applicants are invited to audition by February 1. Audition dates are in late February, on the days set by the department for general auditions (refer to the Music Department Web site for specific dates).
To be eligible for an assistantship that involves teaching duties, an international student must demonstrate proficiency in English as determined by the TOEFL: A minimum score of 250 on the computerized version for the test is required (equivalent to 600 for the paper-based or 100 for the Internet version), or an equivalent score of 7 on the IELTS.
Concentrations for the Master of Music (M.Mu) are offered in the following areas. Specific requirements for each concentration are noted in sections below.
Before admission, a prospective student should send materials pertinent to his or her particular concentration (see “Special Prerequisites” in concentration sections of this page). A candidate for the M.Mu. program must have an undergraduate degree in music from an accredited college or equivalent proficiency. An applicant without a music degree may be required to take a proctored test before being admitted; he or she may have to complete undergraduate work before becoming a graduate student.
No graduate student may enroll for APMS 591 Studio Instruction and Graduate Recital prior to submission of the Program of Studies form to Graduate Studies. Exceptions may be made for students working toward the concentration in Collaborative Piano. Prior to submission of the Program of Studies form, the student must have completed MUS 531 Bibliography and Research, must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, and must have satisfied any foreign language or diction requirements specific to his or her degree program. See the Department of Music Graduate Student Handbook for further information.
The student must submit program notes, program, and bibliography to the Graduate Coordinator no later than two months before the recital (not counting intersession time). See the Department of Music Graduate Student Handbook for details regarding style, format and submission requirements. The Graduate Coordinator may examine the notes, program page and/or bibliography as an outside reader and make comments or suggestions for the student’s advisory committee to consider, and submit these together with the student’s materials to his or her advisory committee members.
The advisory committee members read all materials and may request corrections by the student. The student makes all corrections as requested and resubmits the final copy of the notes to the chair of the advisory committee no later than two weeks before the recital. The student may not perform his or her graduate recital until the notes have been approved by the advisory committee and are ready to be duplicated for the audience. Should the student fail to submit the notes in a timely manner, he or she is required to reschedule the recital for a later date. Refer to the Department of Music Graduate Student Handbook for further information on requirements and the approval process.
Students accepted into the Conducting concentration are required to take an aural skills test upon entering the program. If a sufficient level of proficiency is not demonstrated, appropriate course work is required as part of the student's studies toward the master's degree.
The master’s recital is a conducting performance of major proportions. A conducting practicum is required for the recital. The student may be responsible for developing such a group. The recital shall be a demonstration of the candidate’s ability to program effectively, interpret the various styles and forms, understand acceptable conducting techniques and work effectively with the ensemble. Either 1) a short research document relating to the music and a review of the practicum experience prior to and including the performance; or 2) program notes are required. Substitution of the research document for program notes must be made after consultation with, and with approval of, the conducting faculty, who determine the format and requirements for the document.
Plan I is recommended for students anticipating doctoral study. Plan II is recommended for students who do not plan to pursue doctoral study.
For a composition focus, the portfolio should consist of several compositions. If these are for conventional acoustic media (string quartet, voice and piano, orchestra, band, chorus, solo piano, etc.), scores and recordings, if available, should be submitted. If the medium is in digital form, a copy of the work and a short essay explaining your creative process for the piece should be submitted.
For a theory focus, the portfolio should consist of two essays in academic format. At least one of the two should be on a theory or analysis topic, while the other may be historical in nature.
For students undecided as to whether their focus will be in theory or composition, the portfolio should contain at least one composition/creative work and one essay (theory or analysis only).
As a culmination to study in Theory and Composition, the student must submit either 1) a theoretical document (thesis), or 2) a portfolio of original compositions that is submitted as a hybrid thesis. The portfolio's contents shall have been written while in residence and shall have received written approval from the theory and composition faculty prior to the student's graduation year. Consult the Department of Music Graduate Student Handbook for further requirements.
Students pursuing a focus in Composition are expected to participate in studio classes, juries, concerts of student works and other activities. Consult the Department of Music Composition Handbook for requirements.
