Bachelor of Arts - Music

Program Description

The Music program helps students develop into a well-rounded musician with experience in performance, theory, music history, and music education, as well as a sound basis in the liberal arts.

The Music program stresses professional training, with an emphasis on musical performance. There are also courses and ensembles open to students outside the Music department.

The Bachelor of Arts with a major or minor in Music allows students to balance their musical studies with other subjects and may be suited to students if they are planning a career in music scholarship, librarianship, or other music-related fields, rather than performance.

Courses in the Music program are available in the four main areas of: 

• performance
  
• music history and literature
• music theory and composition
• music education

There are also courses in areas such as composition, conducting, collaborative piano, chamber music, jazz, opera, and world music.
