Jazz and Contemporary Music
Passionate about music? Serious about your future? Then consider UMA's Bachelor of Music in Jazz and Contemporary Music or Associate of Science in Music as your direct pathway to a successful career in the exciting world of professional music.
The Jazz and Contemporary Music Program at UMA enjoys a reputation as northern New England‘s preeminent modern music education resource. Founded in 1973, UMA's renowned faculty, progressive program content, multi-stylistic approaches, highly personalized instruction, technical facilities and extremely competitive tuition have made it the prime choice for dedicated, motivated music students with a contemporary focus.
The UMA music program offers features that are often absent from much larger institutions. An optimum teacher to student ratio, small class size, highly personalized attention, supportive peer group, peaceful country setting, easy commuting access, and appealing local amenities are just a few of the issues that attract our students. Simply put, UMA is a great place to become immersed in music, because the environment is nurturing, motivating and relaxed – a perfect mix for insuring an enjoyable learning experience, year after year.
And while tuition at UMA is extremely affordable, your investment in a college education should have strong, long term value. A degree from UMA is a bona-fide university degree, not just a standard music college diploma. It is important to note that your UMA university degree carries the credibility and authority of the UMaine System. And for those seeking to pursue a Master’s or other advanced degrees, having that credibility can have a positive effect on acceptance to the programs applied to. Now that's value.
