A Master of Music (MM) is a graduate degree focused on advanced studies in music. It typically requires a bachelor's degree in music or a related field for admission. The program often includes coursework in music theory, history, and performance, allowing students to specialize in areas such as composition, conducting, or music education. Students pursuing an MM may also engage in practical experiences, such as recitals or teaching opportunities. This degree prepares graduates for various careers in the music industry, including roles as performers, educators, or music directors, and can also serve as a stepping stone to a Doctor of Music degree.
