Master of Music with Concentration in Jazz

Program Overview

The Master of Music degree at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) is divided into four concentrations: music education, music performance, jazz and conducting. The music performance and jazz concentrations are 30 hour programs that emphasize performance and applied music. Courses dealing with history, theory, and pedagogy are included, and opportunities for internships and performances in local professional organizations such as Opera Omaha, Omaha Performing Arts, the Jewell and the Omaha Symphony are enjoyed by students at UNO. The music education concentration is a 30 hour program with courses that emphasize pedagogy, practical application of music skills, and research for teachers at all levels. The class times and offerings are scheduled with the current practitioner in mind and include the option to complete much of the coursework online or during summer sessions. The conducting concentration is a thirty-hour program that emphasizes individualized instruction in conducting and maximizes experiences in front of an ensemble. Courses in music history, literature, and theory supplement the practical experience to help produce well-rounded graduates with considerable knowledge of techniques and literature. The conducting concentration is available through in-person instruction, online/remote instruction, or hybrid instruction. In order to pursue the online/remote delivery option students must have an off-campus lab ensemble approved by graduate conducting faculty as part of the audition process.
