Training
•Bullet: The degree requires 126 credit hours, at least 80 in music, with 16 hours of individual performance or composition instruction (semesters 1-8) and 8 to 10 ensemble hours, in place of the 28 to 32 applied hours of the Performance degree
•Bullet: The same music core applies as in every Blair major: theory, aural skills, keyboard harmony, technology, conducting, musicology and ethnomusicology, and pedagogy in the performance area
Degree Flexibility
•Bullet: Students declare a primary performance area (classical instrument or voice) or composition and, alongside it, a required concentration in another musical area; examples include composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, pedagogy, music theory, jazz, multiple winds, collaborative arts or an individually-designed concentration of at least 18 approved credit hours
•Bullet: Blair describes the major as ideal for students with a secondary musical interest, and Blair majors can be combined with a double major in any field offered through the College of Arts and Sciences or Peabody College, as well as several areas in the College of Connected Computing
