The Music curriculum is designed for students who want to major or minor in Music or specialize in the Visual and Performing Arts, or for those whose interests are more general and who want to increase their experience and appreciation of music. Students who have taken music at high school or elsewhere will find a selection of historical, theoretical, and practical courses that study music from different historical periods and within different societal and cultural contexts. Students with no previous background can begin musical studies here by taking introductory and listening courses for which no previous musical experience is required. All students are invited to take advantage of the various opportunities that exist for practical music making, particularly the series of Performance courses.
