Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Music Performance

  • The Bachelor of Music in Performance affords the professional student the opportunity to develop high-level musicianship, artistic sensibilities, and a strong commitment to the art, and will instill a lifelong desire to participate creatively as an artist in an ever-evolving musical culture.
  • The Blair School of Music enrolls students from over thirty-five states and foreign countries. Performance majors may also choose to enhance their studies by taking a minor or second major in another field, Blair alumni have gone on to pursue graduate study at major schools of music in the United States and Europe.
  • Through individual performance instruction, weekly performance classes, solo recitals, master class participation, and performance in chamber music and larger ensembles, students gain valuable experience to prepare for a career in music.
  • Because well-educated performers understand music's foundations and progression, the program also emphasizes knowledge of music theory, musicianship, conducting, and history/literature. In addition, all music students complete a varied liberal arts core of coursework. A school-sponsored referral service provides opportunities for student soloists and ensembles to gain performing experience for pay in Nashville.
