Music


            Enrollment in the School of Music’s degree programs is limited.  Prospective majors must pass an audition, which is held the last Saturday in January each year, and pass an aural skills exam. 

            The School of Music respects and celebrates the historic position of music at the heart of a liberal education and the gospel.  From ancient times, music has proven its power to enlighten the understanding, strengthen the spirit, and shape character.  With this power music civilizes and invigorates any society in which it is cultivated.

            In the School of Music the student learns self-discipline through rigorous practice in pursuit of accurate and passionate performance.  The student also learns cooperation and mutual sensitivity through ensemble work.  In the study of music theory and history, the student comes to hear and appreciate the grammar and syntax of various languages, to distinguish nuances of style, and to grasp the ways in which styles intertwine with ideas.

            Students learn in a variety of situations:  private lessons, small seminars, multimedia labs, and large lectures.  These are offered with a holistic approach that embraces academic rigor, intuitive insight, physical grace and spiritual eloquence.
