Music is one of the most basic forms of human expression. From the time of the ancient Greeks it has been a central subject for study.
Music provides insight into the life and values of the culture from which it springs.
The study of music not only enables students to relate to different cultures and historical periods, it also provides an avenue for creative expression, and a basis for life-long enjoyment and participation in the arts. Students who have both a strong interest and a good background in music are encouraged to audition to be music majors. The music industry offers many career opportunities to graduates who can compete effectively in this challenging field. Music study also has been proven to be a strong foundation for other professional endeavors. Out-standing graduates in music are sought after for their ability to concentrate, to organize, to analyze problems, to set and achieve goals, to collaborate with others, to follow directions, and to perform publicly.
