What is an abbreviation for a music degree?

(M.M. or M.Mus.) is the first graduate degree in Music. The M.Mus. combines advanced studies in an applied area of specialization (usually music performance, composition, or conducting) with graduate-level academic study in subjects such as music history, Music Theory, or music pedagogy. The M.Mus degree, which takes one or two years of full-time study to complete, prepares students to be professional performers, conductors, and composers. The M.Mus. is often required as the minimum teaching credential for university, college, and conservatory instrumental or vocal teaching positions.

The M.Mus.is widely available in performance (sometimes with a specialization in pedagogy and/or literature), composition, and conducting. In 2005, Boston University launched an online Master of Music program in music education, the only online program at this level[1]. M.Mus. degrees are sometimes awarded in music education (as a Master of Music Education). The Master's degree in music theory, musicology, and ethnomusicology is typically the Master of Arts.
