Music Department
Mission Statement |
| |
| The Department of Music
meets the needs of three populations: students majoring in music,
students with a musical interest who may be enrolled to meet all-College
requirements or for personal interest, and the community at large.
By taking courses, participating in performance opportunities, or
attending events, members of these groups will enhance their understanding
of and appreciation for music as an art form. |
| Students majoring in
music develop an integrated understanding of music as creative work,
as historical and cultural expression, and as performance. Music
students build on their abilities (a) to understand the art, structures,
and historical and cultural functions of music and (b) to perform
music as soloists and members of ensembles. Students also have the
opportunity to grow as composers, arrangers, and studio engineers.
During their studies, they demonstrate their abilities through written
essays and oral presentations, notated musical scores, recorded
and synthesized musical creations, and live performance. |
| Recitals, lectures,
master classes, residencies, and other public events offer the College
and the community at large the enrichment of the live musical experience
and access to an ongoing discourse on the art of music. |
