A college degree with a concentration in Applied Music entails more than performance ability and experience. It also attests to a student's understanding of the music performed, both technically and contextually; the ability to engage in informed discourse about musical content, style, and meaning; and the insight necessary to devise independent and effective interpretations of musical works through applied activities, such as performance, conducting, arranging, etc.
