Program in Music The Master of Arts degree in Music allows qualified students to pursue advanced studies in music with an emphasis in music education, music pedagogy, music performance, or music therapy. The degree offers students the opportunity to expand the depth and breadth of knowledge in their area of emphasis, develop research skills, and engage in careerrelated experiences. The Master of Arts in Music prepares students for professional careers as therapists, teachers, and performers and serves as a foundation for pursuing doctoral studies in music. The Master of Arts degree with an emphasis in music education also offers an option leading to Texas music teacher certification. Additional information, including certification requirements, is available at College of Professional Education (http://catalog.twu.edu/graduate/professionaleducation). Private Music Lessons Consult the class schedule for course numbers. Program in Theatre Course work and stage experience are designed to train well-rounded theatre practitioners who have the ability to function creatively and skillfully in a variety of theatrical situations. Committed to top quality theatre performance and excellence in the classroom, the graduate theatre program provides practical as well as academic training for students pursuing careers in professional and educational theatre. Degree concentrations emphasize acting/directing, design/production, or literary/criticism. Successful completion of a professional paper is required for the Master of Arts Degree. The culminating project can be creative, scholarly or a creative/scholarly hybrid and must meet professional standards. Projects may be selected from such focus areas as directing; acting; stage management; playwriting; technical direction; design; theatre history; or criticism. With permission of the faculty, a project may be completed off the Denton campus. Admissions Music Admissions Graduate students take placement examinations in music history and music theory/aural skills at the beginning of the first year of graduate course work. Appropriate keyboard skills required of the major emphasis will be tested during the first term of enrollment. See the Music Department Graduate Handbook (http://www.twu.edu/music) for additional details. Master of Arts in Music with an Emphasis in Music Therapy A student with a bachelor s degree in music, but not in music therapy, may apply for admission to the graduate program. However, these students will be admitted provisionally with the stipulation that they complete all equivalency coursework and clinical experience that make them eligible for board certification by the Certification Board for Music Therapists. This equivalency coursework usually consists of about 50 undergraduate semester hours, most of which can be taken concurrently with graduate coursework in a carefully planned program. As part of the undergraduate equivalency coursework, a six-month internship is required prior to removal from provisional status and enrollment in any graduate practicum coursework. Students whose undergraduate degree is not in music will not be admitted to the graduate program in music with an emphasis in music therapy. Rather, they may apply as post-bachelor s degree students to complete equivalency requirements and/or a second bachelor s degree. Completion of these requirements will lead to eligibility to take the national board certification examination in music therapy. Music therapy students who do not have the appropriate professional certification (i.e., MT-BC) must complete all eligibility requirements for that exam prior to the awarding of the master s degree in Music with an emphasis in Music Therapy. See the Music Department Graduate
