work in any area of music with a solid understanding of music theory, music history,
and performance experience. The Certificate is intended to give musicians who are
proficient at their instrument a solid background in music fundamentals. The combination
of performance proficiency and the Certificate in Music may lead to a career as a
private instructor.
