Music students majoring in composition focus on the theory and practice behind the creation of music; in fact, at the undergraduate level theory and composition may be offered as one program. They receive coaching and private lessons from tutors, professors and guest composers in order to improve their skills, and study composition styles, orchestration, musical structures, analysis, criticism, and the business of music. However, students also take courses in other aspects of music, such as theory, history and performance; to round out their degrees, they take electives in the liberal arts and sciences, or in other fine arts. Students usually specialize in a particular style of music (such as church music or jazz), but often are exposed to both electronic and acoustic forms of musical production regardless of their specialty.
