Training
•Bullet: BMA Musical Arts Brass students complete a rigorous music core in theory, musicianship, music history and literature, applied study, ensembles, and music electives.
•Bullet: The interdisciplinary degree is intentionally designed with a secondary area outside music, and students personally shape that liberal-arts component with faculty advising.
Performance & Productions
•Bullet: Brass applicants prepare at least two contrasting standard-repertoire works, including movements of sonatas, concerti, or other solo pieces.
•Bullet: The audition also calls for sight-reading and demonstrated proficiency in scales and arpeggios, pairing prepared artistry with foundational instrumental fluency.
Degree Flexibility
•Bullet: The BMA culminates in an interdisciplinary capstone, so brass students connect music study to a second field while completing the degree's substantial music and non-music coursework.
