This training includes arousing awareness of your potential to connect with a broad audience. Music and the performing arts are unique symbolic languages for communicating ideas, feelings, and different ways of knowing about oneself and the world. An extension of the spoken word and an expression of popular culture, music is a major influence in the construction of identities, values, and beliefs. It engages the whole individual in the act of creating, performing, and responding. It involves intellect, intuition, emotion, and the physical being.
Music provides a record of civilization that reflects human thought, action, and experience.
It connects diverse people. Our comprehensive program addresses the complex issues of performing artists and their relationship to other arts. You will learn fundamental skills of hearing and moving by recording, self-expressing, interpreting, and relating sound and movement to the social environment. Importantly, our MPA program develops essential workplace qualities of pluralism, teamwork, collaboration, flexibility, and respect for others' ideas and personal expressions.
