About the course

The Department of Music curriculum is designed to provide students with knowledge of their musical heritage and the great masterworks of music literature. Additionally, a foundation in theoretical studies and musical skills allows students to understand and appreciate music in an intellectual manner. Performance experience develops technical skills and artistic sensitivity. All of the department's programs are based in the liberal arts in the belief that a broad, general education is an appropriate preparation for both the well-rounded musician and the educated individual. Students pursuing a music degree at UAH must complete the Music Core and one or more of the emphases below. The music core is a classical-based degree in music. This means that all music majors, regardless of emphasis, must have a primary instrument from the classical music world, i.e., voice, piano, organ, classical guitar, or a traditional band or orchestral instrument. The course of study includes ensemble and solo performance on the primary instrument. Additionally, students in any music emphasis other than music education must complete the Liberal Arts General Education Requirements. Students wishing to pursue a major in music should have pre-college training in their principal performing instrument or voice and have ability to read music fluently. Basic keyboard ability is helpful but not mandatory. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
