MUSIC

The mission of the music major is to develop in students the skills of discrimination and sensitivity in listening, careful analysis in studying music, technical competence in performance, and expressiveness in interpretation while promoting abiding Christian values. Two music major programs are offered: a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education (K-12) with choral or instrumental emphasis, for students who want to become certified to teach music at the elementary or secondary level; and a Bachelor of Arts in Music, for students who wish to pursue music careers or graduate study outside the realm of education. Students completing the Bachelor of Arts in Music may add a concentration in music performance, theory and composition, or church music.
