The goal of the program is to provide students with a solid foundation in music history, theory and performance within a liberal arts context.
The Music Department offers a major within the framework of a Bachelor of Arts degree. By providing a solid foundation in music history, theory, and performance within a liberal arts context, the program prepares students to pursue a variety of academic and professional interests, including graduate study in music and Massachusetts Teacher Certification.
In addition, the Music Department offers a minor for the student pursuing a B.A. or B.S. degree, as well as courses that satisfy the General Education Requirements. Private instruction is given in piano, guitar, voice and orchestral and band instruments; a performance study fee is charged for these lessons. Performing organizations are also available for both singers and instrumentalists.
A student wishing to major or minor in music should consult with the department
chairperson as early as possible. Certain courses may be waived pending consultation
with the Music Department chairperson and/or completion of proficiency tests.
