As listeners, performers, creators, our students investigate the ways that music and sound shape the worlds in which we live. The music department’s courses, ensembles, and lessons are open to majors and non-majors, and guide students to do the following:

1. Connect skills, methods, and modes of knowledge across disciplines and apply them to new contexts.
2. Develop and refine skills in such areas as musicianship, public speaking, and project management.
3. Build communities in our classes and ensembles through collaborative projects.
4. Interrogate our positions within the changing conventions of music and sound studies.
