Our Bachelor of Arts in Music degree lays a strong foundation for advanced music study in graduate school and entry into a variety of music-related professions. We offer a variety of courses in music theory, history, composition, ethnomusicology and electronic and computer music so students leave the program with fundamental knowledge to engage with music meaningfully. Students can also take individual performance lessons and participate in ensembles.
Upon completion of the program, our students:
Show and use practical skills in vocal or instrumental sight reading; independent learning of pre-existent or new compositions; and stylistic, analytical or interpretive discussion.
Write and speak fluently and cogently on a wide range of musical topics in formal and impromptu settings.
Demonstrate intelligibility, craft, informed expression and a commitment to independent inquiry in creating or performing music.
Knowledgeably situate their own musical activities within a culturally, aesthetically and intellectually pluralistic community in the program and the larger musical world.
