Composition majors are expected to write works for soloists, for chamber ensembles, and for large wind or orchestral ensembles. The department welcomes diversity of compositional styles and esthetic viewpoints and encourages exploration on the part of its students. The program culminates with a recital of original music written while a student is enrolled at Westminster.

Important Notes:

1. The compostition major must present, following authorization from the department, a public recital of original works written while enrolled as a graduate student at Westminster Choir College.
