Special Opportunities
The Performer's Certificate honors students who exhibit exceptional abilities in music performance. A student is nominated for the Performer's Certificate upon the favorable vote of two-thirds of the faculty present at the recital hearing.
Students may also receive the Composer's Certificate, which honors composition majors who exhibit exceptional abilities. Composition majors will normally be considered for this award in conjunction with their senior recital in composition.
Piano students may have the opportunity to study with Alexander D. Toradze, Martin Endowed Professor in Piano at IU South Bend. Toradze is an internationally renowned keyboard virtuoso in the grand Romantic tradition.

Music performance degrees prepare students to pursue a performing career or teach their instrument in a private studio. Some music graduates pursue careers in related fields such as arts administration.
