Having recently undergone a review, the PhD in performance program is intended for both students in classical and in jazz performance. This professional training program fosters an environment where students have the independence to find their own personal instrumental style using a high-calibre repertoire. The academic component of the program provides the opportunity to connect music theory and practice and further develop your written and oral skills.
