About the course

The Bachelor of Arts in Music (B.A.) allows students to study music within a larger context of a liberal arts education. In comparison to the curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Music (B.M.), less emphasis is placed on studies specifically in music, with greater flexibility for studies outside of music. In lieu of a larger number of credits in music as required for the B.M, the B.A. student completes 21 elective credits in areas outside of music. In addition, completion of a capstone paper, project, or recital (half recital) is required during the senior year.

　　Program-level Learning Objectives

　　Hear, identify, and work conceptually with elements of music such as rhythm, melody, harmony, structure, timbre, texture, through composition, improvisation, and performance in multiple musical styles.

　　Develop and defend musical judgments and demonstrate a synthesis of knowledge and/or skills in one or more areas of music.

　　Articulate knowledge of a wide selection of musical literature, the principal eras, genres, and cultural sources.

　　As part of a well-rounded liberal arts program, B.A. in Music majors are also expected to think, speak, and write clearly, and effectively address and defend diverse cultural, historical, moral, scientific, and ethical issues (both orally and in written form) in subject matter related to music, other art forms, and outside disciplines.
