PROGRAM UNAVAILABLE FOR 2020-21

Performance Certificate Overview

The Performance Certificate program is an intensive, one-year program for musicians of exceptional quality who wish to focus on developing their performance skills through further study.  The program allows a student to study intensely in music performance and provides:

  • Lessons with Music Department faculty;
  • Chamber music, collaborative, and ensemble experiences;
  • English training; and
  • No academic courses requirements.

For international students who don’t have exceptional English competency, the program will focus on music performance and English studies in tandem.

The Performance Certificate is for a student who holds at least a Bachelor of Music, Performance Diploma, or equivalent at a respected institution and recognizes successful completion of the two-semester full-time program.

This certificate recognizes accomplishment but does not carry the privileges of a college degree. It is instead meant for students preparing for auditions, competitions, or career-entry positions.
