Faculty of Graduate Studies Section 6: Programs in Graduate Studies Academic Staff Program Information The Faculty of Music offers a Master of Music (M.Mus.) in three major areas: performance, composition and conducting. The emphasis is upon full professional preparation in a strong academic context. Students in the string component of the program are eligible for adjunct training by a special agreement with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. Students in the voice component are eligible for being considered for training and solo professional activities with Winnipeg operatic companies, choral organizations and chamber groups. Students in collaborative piano component are eligible for being considered for training with Winnipeg operatic companies and choral organizations or with professional chamber ensembles. Fields of Creative Work and Research The Faculty of Music fosters an active, integrated performance environment which provides the broadest possible professional training. This is complemented by a program of research in musicology, ethnomusicology, jazz, music theory and related fields. Students with interests outside of the M.Mus. have the option of pursuing advanced studies in music via the Individual Interdisciplinary Program (IIP) of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Research Facilities Of particular interest to students in the M.Mus. (composition) is our Electroacoustic Music Studio. Our library resources support a wide variety of performance studies in various historical eras. Master of Music program Admission Admission requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Study are found in the Graduate Studies Regulations Section of this Calendar. Persons who have completed (1) a four-year undergraduate degree program in music with a minimum 3.0 GPA in the last two full years or (2) a conservatory diploma which is offered in residence may apply for admission to the M.Mus. program. Application Deadlines All applications should be sent to the Faculty of Music on or before January 31st to begin study in September, or June 15th for a January start date. Application procedures vary, according to the proposed area of study: Performance applicants will perform an audition and will submit a curriculum vitae which includes details of performance experience and repertoire. Except in special circumstances, the audition will be in person, at the Faculty of Music. String players wishing to apply for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra partnership will be required to perform a separate audition according to the standard procedures of the W.S.O. Composition applicants will present a portfolio of works and will submit a curriculum vitae detailing experience both in the area of composition and in the field, in general. Diagnostics Students admitted to the Master of Music program at the University of Manitoba are expected to possess the same breadth and depth of knowledge of music history and music theory as our own undergraduate students. To help ensure this, all incoming graduate students will be given diagnostic examinations to evaluate their knowledge of music history and the theoretical aspects of tonal and post-tonal music. These diagnostic examinations will normally be given during the week preceding the first week of classes in the Fall. The material on these examinations will correspond to that studied in our undergraduate courses in music history and music theory. Details of suitable review materials will be mailed to all incoming graduate students, and are also available by request from the music office. Incoming graduate students who do not achieve satisfactory results on any portion of these tests may be required to do remedial work as a co-requisite or pre-requisite to their graduate program; such work, in the form of course or other requirements, will not count for credit toward the Master of Music degree. Since remedial coursework may be specified as a pre-requisite to a required graduate course, incoming graduate students will not be permitted to register for courses in the Faculty of Music until these diagnostics exams have been taken. Program Requirements The Faculty of Music offers three program areas leading to the M.Mus. As part of each program, all M.Mus. students are required to take: MUSC 7000, MUSC 7050, MUSC 7110, MUSC 7180, MUSC 7400, MUSC 7410 and complete program requirements for areas of study, as follows: Second Language Reading Requirement: Reading knowledge of one language other than English is required. The language required will normally be French, German or Italian. Other languages will be accepted if more appropriate to the student's program.
