Students planning to major in music will find a curriculum tailored to their specific needs. With an understanding of the past provided by music history, you can progress to more advanced studies in either performance or theory. Careers in performance, composition, teaching, research and many others are all under the purview of this broad academic discipline. Students will appreciate the methods musicians employ to bring their compositions to life via a combination of group projects and individual study. Classical, r&b, jazz, and even today's popular music are just a few genres that music scholars delve into and examine. They investigate the historical and cultural backgrounds of their topic to the topic tool and an interpretation of the development of the respective musical forms.
