Like visual art that organizes colors and shapes into an integrated whole, music organizes sounds and silence into a coherent grouping to express ideas, emotions, or simply elicit an emotional response.
Music is everywhere.
Besides the obvious compact disc and cassettes, music is heard on the radio and television, in movies, and even in elevators. Music is performed in a variety of venues from concert halls to small clubs. Music is taught in schools, used in business, and is a therapy in hospitals and nursing homes. It provides recreation for millions of people who play instruments and participate in community bands, choruses, and orchestras. The Department of Music offers a minor in music.
