PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS: Please read our frequently asked questions and sample music by our students and faculty. I also encourage you to contact the Coordinator of Music Composition with any other questions you might have about the study of composition at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Additionally, feel free to write to Professor Don Freund if you are applying for the BM, Professor Aaron Travers if applying for MM or DM, Professor John Gibson if applying for the MM in Computer Music Composition, or Professor Larry Groupé if applying for a music scoring degree, certificate, or minor.
