The Music minor supports non-BFA music concentration majors by fortifying their prior musical training. Students are required to engage in core courses which promote critical thinking, such as music theory, history, and literature and applied and ensemble music performance courses designed to synthesize and integrate contemporary and traditional performance practices. The minor also affords students the flexibility to highlight areas of their utmost interest through interdisciplinary learning. Students are able to express their creativity and enrich their personal and social experience while developing a stronger foundation of music fundamentals and performance practices.
