The Music Department

The Department of Music offers a broad range of courses every year, from the History of Jazz to The Evolution of Western Music to Beethoven, and Electronic Music Studio. A full-time faculty of ten professors provides courses in theory, history, performance, and ethnomusicology designed to meet the needs of both students who choose one of the music concentration programs and students who wish to explore music one course at a time. Private instrumental and vocal lessons, from beginning to advanced levels, are offered by some members of the full-time faculty and by a performance faculty of over 25.
