context_page_description: Monmouth College is a private Presbyterian liberal arts college in Monmouth, Illinois. Monmouth is a selective, exclusively undergraduate four-year institution that enrolls approximately 1,100 students from 32 countries. Students choose courses from 34 major programs, 39 minors, and 18 pre-professional programs in a core curriculum.
context_section_description: In the Monmouth College music department, majors and non-majors alike have the opportunity to perform in ensembles including Chorales, male and female a capella, Marching Band, concert bands and an orchestra. The college also has a gospel choir and provides opportunities for musical theater. The Chorale has toured extensively both nationally, visiting nearly half the states in the US, and internationally, including a recent trip to Scotland and a tour of Spain in spring, 2012. In 2013 the group performed in Carnegie Hall in New York City.
  All classes, ensembles, and lessons are taught by members of the faculty, rather than by teaching assistants. The faculty are experts in their respective fields, as well as active performers.
  The Music Department subsidizes some vocal ensembles.
  The Kasch Performance Hall, a 600-seat concert hall and stage which is inside the Dahl Chapel, was given a $3 million restoration in 2003. Faculty offices, most lessons and classes, practice rooms, and a piano lab are located in Austin Hall, which is a few blocks away.
