Masters of Music

The Masters program at PGVIM provides students with the opportunity to explore new approaches to music.

This program is designed to help students deepen their musical knowledge and skills through a process of questioning, understanding, and sharing their creative work.

The curriculum is designed to bring theory and practice into a reciprocal relationship, where each informs and enlivens the other.
