The study of music encompasses many different career paths. A music performance degree is a professional music degree that prepares students for future careers as performers, composers, and/or teachers. A music education degree prepares students for positions as choral directors or teachers of general music or for positions as instrumental directors in public schools. The BA music degree is a liberal arts degree that provides valuable undergraduate preparation for a variety of careers, including music historian. A degree in composition prepares students to create original music for small and large groups of performers. They transcribe ideas into musical notation using harmony, rhythm, melody and form. Most composers now write and edit music using computers. For more information go to http://www.uncg.edu/mus.
