Music is the personal expression of human existence. It utilizes the
organization of sound and silence, and relies on four major
principles: theory, aesthetics, performance and history. Musicians
create music through composition, which is the rendering of original
thought into a musical score, and through performance, which brings
the score to life.
Music students study and practice composition, and develop their
performance capabilities through private applied study, the study of
the foundations of music, and performance opportunities.
The Music Department prepares students for teaching music as well
as for baccalaureate preparation for advanced study in music. It also
fosters involvement with music through Liberal Education courses,
public performances, and music camps.
Notes: Music Department performance opportunities are open to all
students regardless of major.
The Department of Music is accredited by the National Association
of Schools of Music.
