BA/BS in Compositional Performance Specialization

The Creative Performance specialisation develops the ability to perform, compose and arrange music across classical, popular and jazz styles. Students choose either electronic organ or piano as their instrument and aim to become creators or arrangers while improving as performers. Classes include work study, where students compose pieces for their instrument and perform them with others, score production, which turns keyboard works into orchestral arrangements, and ensemble classes ranging from small groups to big band. The programme encourages free thinking, such as reviving forgotten music through arrangement and taking it to wider audiences. Teaching is by active professionals who give careful, high-quality guidance.
