Music

• MAJOR PROGRAM IN MUSIC AND CULTURE
• MINOR PROGRAM IN MUSIC HISTORY

The Music curriculum is designed both for students who intend to pursue a career in the arts and for students whose interests are more general. Students who have taken music at high school or elsewhere will find a selection of historical, theoretical, and practical courses in music, while students with no previous background can begin musical studies here.

Most upper-level music courses assume the student has some ability in reading music, and all continuing students are encouraged and helped to acquire this skill as soon as possible. Students who need additional preparation are advised to take VPAA93H and VPAA94H. All students should consider taking advantage of the various opportunities that exist here for practical music making, particularly the series of Supervised Performance courses.
