The courses in music are designed to enrich and broaden cultural background and stimulate increased understanding of and participation in music. A music major is offered to give the student specialized preparation in music scholarship, performance, and teaching. Prospective students may audition for music scholarships and talent awards.
Ensemble participation is required of music majors each semester.
This may be satisfied by examination with preparation through previous training, individual piano lessons or satisfactory completion of 2 semesters of Keyboard Harmony. Enrollment in these courses is not counted in determining tuition charges. Courses in music may also be incorporated in a Fine Arts major or in a combined major with another discipline. The Education Department is in the process of seeking state approval of a certification program in K-12 Music. Contact the Education and Music Departments for a detailed description of this program.
