About the Program
The expression of ideas and emotions through music is integral to every culture. To understand music is to understand the essence of humanity. Music extends one’s comprehension of history and society while also providing preparation for a career. The broadly educated musician is in demand in the recording industry, education, theatre, film, television, and radio.
Faculty members work closely with students to create a curriculum integrating the study of music history, theory/composition, and performance practices. Performance opportunities include the University Chorale, the University Chamber Orchestra, the University Wind Ensemble, Brass Ensemble, Flute Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble and chamber ensembles as well as private study in keyboard, voice, woodwind, brass, string, and percussion instruments.
