The composition major places an emphasis on creativity and the study of modern approaches and techniques of music making. Students compose in a wide variety of performance media, and most works are performed immediately. Composition majors participate in the preparation and performance of new student works through the Contemporary Music Ensemble, and works are written for the many other ensembles on campus. Through active participation in the rich musical environment at Rowan University, students develop an intuitive understanding of musical performance, instruments and vocals. Students explore a variety of techniques, with emphasis placed upon developing unique individual approaches to creative work, exploring previously unexplored avenues of awareness, and developing individual stylistic points of view. Rowan music program graduates have had their works performed professionally throughout the United States. Many continue their study of composition through graduate school and have received fellowships, commissions and awards for their work.
