Department Philosophy:

Music Philosophy stresses the development of aesthetic awareness through a series of interrelated course offerings that promote an understanding and enjoyment of musical literature and technique. By creating, performing, listening to and writing music, the students work towards mastery of another language, the language of music.

Department Objective:

1. Students will become aware of fundamental music concepts through a study of notation and instrumentation.
2. Students will develop critical judgement when theorizing and when assessing individual performance goals.
3. Students will interact as members of a corps during rehearsals
