Music Theory and Composition
|
The School of Music offers programs
in ensembles and conducting, music education, music history and musicology, music theory
and composition, music technology, and music performance. It is accredited by the National Association of
Schools of Music.
The school offers four-year majors in
music performance, music education, music technology, and music composition.
Admission to major or
minor study in music is
based on an audition in applied music and an examination in music theory. No student will
be admitted to the School of Music without a successful audition and
theory exam.
Music majors are required to
demonstrate proficiency in one or more of the following: keyboard, symphonic
instruments (strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion),
guitar, voice, or harp.
Students majoring or minoring in music
are expected to attend weekly recitals and to perform. They will also participate in
School of Music ensembles as designated by the faculty and required by the curricula.
For more information, contact the
School of Music, 765-285-5400.
