Music
Associate Professor Christian Secrist
Assistant Professor Nichol DelGiorno
Instructor Tyler Carpenter
The courses in music are designed to enrich and broaden the understanding of music as an art form in all its cultural contexts. Some courses encourage participation in performance, while others deal with aspects of music history, notation, and analysis. The music minor offers immersive study in music for those who are passionate about music but wish to major in another subject. Prospective students may audition for fine arts scholarships, and all music ensembles (MU103, 105, 106, 107, and 113) are open to students (some, but not all, require an audition). Enrollment in the ensembles is counted in determining tuition charges. A fee is charged for private lessons, but this fee is waived for music minors.
