Overview

The Master of Music Jazz Studies concentration initiated in fall 1999 offers a comprehensive experience in enhanced small jazz ensemble, solo performance, and arranging/composition, an opportunity to raise and refine the level of improvisation and instrumental/vocal performance skills, the potential for high-level, primary source research and writing only available in the New York area, and awareness of current pedagogical techniques in improvisation and arranging. A deeper level of study arises from added historical and theoretical background (in the Western European tradition as well as in jazz), primary source research and graduate-level writing opportunities uniquely available in jazz, current technological innovations as they relate to jazz, and application of these issues to pedagogical techniques in the college and public school classroom.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
