About the course

The University of Virginia Department of Music offers a wide variety of opportunities to all university students interested in studying music and sound. Students can explore jazz, African genres, European art musics, computer music, hip-hop or other popular musics, and a range of other world and folk musics. As the diversity of our courses and performance groups continues to grow, the Department of Music remains one of the leading music departments in the nation. Whether by becoming a part of a performance group, learning about music in an academic setting, or combining these, students can immerse themselves in musical life. Classes are available for students with all levels of experience, so everyone from beginners to skilled professionals has a chance to broaden their knowledge and understanding of music. This program approaches the study of music as one of the liberal arts. This means that students develop their understanding of music through critical and comparative studies (which includes cultural studies, aesthetics, musicology, and ethnomusicology), theory and analysis, composition, and development of skills in musicianship and performance in a range of possible genres and styles.
