Training
•Composition: Brass Emphasis is one of the explicit concentration-and-emphasis routes within George Mason's 120-credit BM Music degree.
•The composition curriculum adds a sequenced studio in original work, counterpoint, electronic composition, orchestration, music history, applied study, and a music technology and composition capstone.
Performance & Productions
•Brass study connects applied work with wind, symphonic, orchestral, or jazz ensemble options and the keyboard or technique requirements published for this emphasis.
•The path retains the shared BM core in aural skills, theory, keyboard proficiency, recital attendance, musical communication, and music history while making the published brass emphasis visible to applicants.
