A Senior Project in Composition will be an original work of a size and scope that constitute a substantial challenge to the student, accompanied by an analytic essay that describes the work’s
structure and compositional process.
A Senior Project in Theory/Analysis will involve original research and analysis of a size and scope that constitute a substantial challenge to the student. The student will write a formal, scholarly paper of approximately twenty pages (including diagrams and illustrations) plus a precise bibliography. A public presentation reading or summarizing their paper is strongly encouraged.
A preview examination of the Senior Project must be taken 4-6 weeks prior to the end of the semester or date of the public presentation of the project.
