Program in Organ — Degrees and Requirements
Students may enroll in the Institute
of Sacred Music for all programs – M.M., M.M.A./D.M.A., and
Artist Diploma. For more information, see the Bulletin of the School
of Music.
Additionally, an organ major enrolling in the Institute of
Sacred Music will elect three academic courses taught by ISM faculty, as well as the ISM Colloquium each term.
Master of Music
A two-year postbaccalaureate degree in musical performance, this
program includes intensive study of a primary discipline (e.g.,
keyboard, conducting, composition), augmented by theoretical and
historical studies.
Master of Musical Arts
A three-year degree in musical performance, which is considered
predoctoral residence, this program is designed to provide intensive
training in performance or composition. Two years of residence in
the M.M. program count toward this degree. However, students who
hoave earned the M.M. degree at another university are expected
to spend two years in residence at Yale for the M.M.A. degree.
Doctor of Musical Arts
This degree is awarded to those who have earned the Master of Musical
Arts degree and have demonstrated exceptional competence as performers,
as well as deep intellectual curiosity about all areas of music,
its history, theory, styles, and sources. Following receipt of the
Master of Musical Arts degree, candidates must demonstrate distinguished
professional musical achievement and return to Yale after at least
two years for a comprehensive oral examination and a final public
performance.
Artist Diploma
This diploma is offered to applicants who hold a master’s
degree or the professional equivalent. Although a fundamental knowledge
of musicianship and the history of western music is presumed, candidates
will be tested in these areas when they enter the program. Minimum
performance requirements for each year of residence are one solo
recital, one major ensemble performance, and one performance of
a work for soloist and orchestra. Students who have completed the
Master of Music degree at Yale may complete the work in one academic
year; those who have earned the M.M. or its equivalent elsewhere
will be in residence for two years.
