Learning Goals

Students will engage deeply with music through historical, technological, aesthetic, and socio-cultural contexts. The Department of Music pursues a broader, liberal arts approach to music so that students will be able to:

• Create (music through multiple modes of activity)
• Analyze (examine and listen critically to music as an object of study)
• Collaborate (with other musicians towards a unified artistic goal)
• Communicate (ideas through written and oral forms)
• Explore (music’s broad connections throughout the discipline and beyond)
• Develop expertise (in an area of specialization through a capstone project)
