Capstone projects may include performance recitals, music compositions, scholarly papers, or digital creations, among others.
Finally, a capstone project, completed as part of one course chosen from a list of possible classes, concludes the major. These "immersion" classes will then lead to various electives chosen by students from an extensive selection of elective classes, resulting in an individual course of study formed according to each student's interests.
In the upper division, three performance courses and two seminars in music history and ethnomusicology will be required, along with two introductory "Making Music" courses chosen from a long list of options. For those who wish to further hone their skills, Music 20 (Introduction to Musicianship) and Music 25 (Introduction to Music Theory, Analysis, and Notation) are also available. Lower division studies provide grounding in creative music practice, music history, and ethnomusicology via three required lower-division courses, Music 70, 80, and 90. A large number of double majors in the department represent such diverse fields as computer science, psychology, molecular and cell biology, physics, economics, English, and business administration, to name a few.Ī performance audition is not required to declare the major. The major offers pre-professional training for the student seeking a career in music, and also can provide a lasting source of enrichment for students with other career goals. The curriculum is responsive to the interests of a diverse student body and offers a broad and flexible program.
The department is dedicated to a liberal education in the Arts and Humanities and introduces students to a wide variety of music practices in performance, music composition and technology, theoretical and creative studies, and historical and cultural studies. The Department of Music grants a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Music and also a minor in Music.
