The curricular philosophy of the Department
of Music is based on the ideals of the conservatory within the academy.
We are concerned with the performance and creation of music within the
context of the highest standards of historical, aesthetic, and theoretical
inquiry. This philosophy is reflected in both the undergraduate and graduate
curricula, and in the makeup of the faculty and student cohort as well.
The faculty includes composers, musicologists and music theorists, conductors,
and performers, many of whom claim teaching expertise in more than one
area. We view this versatility and flexibility as a particular strength
of the faculty, and a direct reflection of the multi-faceted nature of
our curricular concept as well.
Our academic programs are supported by several outstanding
facilities devoted to music and technology, as
well as by the combined resources of the Langson
Library (housing books and scores) and the Arts
Media Center (containing an extensive collection of audio recordings).
