The graduate project is evaluated in two parts: as a thesis, with the expectation that the student has completed extensive research in a comprehensive manner; and as a recital, in which the student incorporates aspects of the project and demonstrates personal instrumental growth. Students give presentations throughout the semester in seminar setting, showing their progress in research and its application to performance.

    Open to Masters in Jazz Studies only.
