Music theory core. All freshmen prospective music majors enroll in two semesters of our music theory core which includes music theory, dictation, keyboard harmony, and sight singing. All of these classes are limited in size, with the limits sometimes as low as 12, but never higher than 22. Music faculty keep a vigilant watch on student populations in these classes because these smaller class sizes enhance the learning of these skills and theoretical constructs. The music department nurtures an open door policy.
All music faculty make themselves available for student advisement.
Each professor posts office hours outside the door, and a duplicate record of those office hours is available to any student in the music office. Failure to pass auditions will delay graduation. Applications are due January 11. Please contact the advisement center for further details on the application process. Freshmen may participate in every aspect of a theatre production.
