On Campus
The Music Composition degree at the University of Nebraska at Kearney provides a deep inquiry into how music is created. Students study the basics of harmony, counterpoint, rhythm, form, and the relationship of music to the other arts. Along the way, students grow and develop their own compositional and artistic voices.
Composition students take individual lessons, a weekly composition seminar, and participate in master classes and lectures given by nationally known professionals. In the junior and senior year, composition majors present recitals of their own music. Usually, the undergraduate degree in composition prepares students for continuing on to a Masters program, however, the degree also prepares students for entry into many other musical fields.
