Music Focus

Students perform, understand, describe, and create music in both individual and ensemble settings.  Students develop musicianship through:

on instruments and in the electronic music lab.  Classroom seminars explore aesthetics, history, and ethnomusicology.  In addition, clinics with guest artists, festivals, field trips and attendance at local music performances are part of the curriculum.
