MUSIC
Music is the study of the language of sound and its
effect on the minds and souls of creator, performer and
listener. It is one of the few academic disciplines to deal
extensively with the development of the creative side of
personhood; in that sense it is one of the most wholly
“human” of the humanities. The creative problemsolving
skills and discipline of music studies prepare
students for a wide range of life’s activities and pursuits.
The Music Department offers a wide range of classes,
providing opportunities for transfer music majors, music
for general studies students, and the opportunity for
student and community musicians of all skill levels to
participate in a wide variety performance ensembles.
