With a Music major, students gain practical experience in performance, composition, theory, history, and ethnomusicology. They’ll also develop familiarity with musical traditions, genres, canonical repertoire, major artists, styles, and instruments in the musical cultures covered in the curriculum.

The Music department also offers two minors:

  • Music Minor — a flexible minor that allows students either a broad range of music study, or enables a focus on a particular area of musical inquiry. Coordinator: Justin London.
  • Music Performance Minor — for students who want to pursue excellence in musical performance with a focus in a particular instrument, voice, or performance area. Coordinator: Nicola Melville.
