Doctoral performance and research

A lecture-recital after preliminary examinations, on the candidate's own ensemble work for at least four players, which the candidate conducts or plays in (1 credit); and the DMA composition project (MUSIC 999), an original composition of ambition and scope, which after preliminary examinations takes the continuous registration of exactly three research-related credits a term; its credits beyond the recital fall under the Guide's additional coursework.
