The Music curriculum provides students with a broad foundation in music that will enable them to pursue a variety of musical paths including performance, composition, and music education. Students will develop performance skills through applied lessons and participation in ensembles, combined with a two-year sequence of music theory, aural skills/sight-reading, and keyboard proficiency courses. Students who complete the curriculum can seek entry-level employment as music educators, performers, music assistants, and musical leaders in liturgical/worship services. Prior to beginning the coursework in this program, students should have at least some experience in reading printed music and playing an instrument/voice.

A Certificate of Achievement is awarded upon completion of all required courses with a grade of C or better.

Program Outcomes

• Synthesize and apply theoretical principles to analyze repertoire and design original compositions across diverse historical and stylistic contexts, justifying analytical and compositional decisions with discipline specific terminology.
• Evaluate and interpret tonal melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic structures through aural analysis.
• Develop, interpret, and present a solo program appropriate to the primary instrument/voice, demonstrating technical command, musicality, and stylistic authenticity.
• Plan and collaborate within ensembles to lead, rehearse, and produce cohesive musical performances, applying time management and interpersonal skill, in the production of a collaborative musical work.
