Ready to Compose

For you, life has a rhythm and a sound. You hear it all through music — and you long to express your feelings, your thoughts and your worldview through notes, dynamics and tempo.

The Composition program at Georgia Southern continuously creates opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to develop their artistic voice within the musical landscape of the 21st century. An environment that encourages exploration and creative collaboration, supported by first-class sound technology and sophisticated performing spaces, allows our students to create and present a wide range of musical works for acoustic and electronic media.
