Combining a strong emphasis in writing with analysis, the program is designed to produce composers who are proficient in a variety of musical languages while at the same time allowing for the evolution of an individual's personal compositional craft and approach. A strong emphasis on musicianship, including the performance and conducting of a student's own works, further enhances the young composer's development as a competent musician. Numerous performance opportunities of students' works by excellent performers and ensembles as well as hands on experience in the use of new technologies including computer music, and interactive and notational software as well as interdisciplinary work are an integral part of the curriculum. Many of our graduates have continued studies at other prestigious schools and have been the recipients of ASCAP and BMI Student Composition awards. The graduate and undergraduate music composition program at FIU prepares students for either continued graduate studies in composition or as skillful composers continuing in a variety of careers. For more information regarding the program, please contact Dr. Orlando Jacinto Garcia. The undergraduate Music Technology program is designed for candidates who have a background in music (instrumental or vocal), and who are also interested in computers, mathematics, or physics. Performance on a traditional instrument or voice is required. Additionally, a basic working knowledge of music software such as Finale, Sibelius, Digital Performer, Logic, and Pro Tools is highly desired. Most Music Technology majors will begin with Electronic Music I (MUC 2301) and continue through the sequence of music technology courses, as well as physics and computer science courses. Students must be admitted into the University and the School of Music before admission into the Music Technology program is possible. Entrance into the University is contingent upon SAT scores and overall GPA in high school, while entrance into the School of Music is determined by audition. The specific requirements of the audition depend on the instrument on which the prospective student will be auditioning. After a student is admitted to the University and the School of Music, admission into the Music Technology program is contingent upon the approval of the area Director and related faculty, and is dependent upon the performance of the student in the Electronic Music I and II courses and/or the student’s portfolio of software, hardware, and electro-acoustic composition, and sound design. The M.M. with a concentration in Music Technology requires 36 hours past the Bachelor's degree for completion of the degree. Graduate students in the program have a required summer semester serving as an intern at a national or international music technology company. The culmination of a student's work at FIU is the thesis project, which is a major technological undertaking, and which may take the form of music software, music hardware, audio installation, or interactive digital media. Most graduate Music Technology majors will begin with Electronic Music III and continue through the sequence of music technology courses, although the exceptional student may enter in Computer Music Seminar I. For more information about the Music Technology program, please contact Dr. Jacob Sudol.
