Music - Florida Southern College

Music from Florida Southern College is a Campus Bachelor Music degree that prepares you for a Vocational Programs career. What We Emphasize Our artist-level faculty knows that the richest learning for young music students comes in those exacting, exhilarating moments of "getting it all together" in actual performance. To achieve those moments, one must excel in individual lessons as well as classes in music theory, music history, pedagogy, composition, jazz studies and other areas. A variety of group and individual learning situations that include: solo recitals and high-level ensembles like chorale, opera theatre, symphony orchestra, symphony band, jazz ensemble, and chamber ensemble. How We Teach Our classes are kept small, and our intimate faculty-student ratio will provide you with constant teacher interaction and advice. Our teacher training will involve you in education courses combined with supervised mentoring and intern assignments, culminating in concerned job placement. You can rest assured that you'll never get lost in a large class and never be given a vocal or instrumental lesson by some disinterested grad assistant. Moreover, in sharp contrast to most large universities where you would have to wait four years while a graduate student sings the lead in a production or takes those coveted first-chair instrumental parts, our students have the opportunity to be involved early and stay involved throughout their college career! What You'll Learn Outside the classroom, our ensembles present concerts on campus and on tour in the United States and abroad. You'll also experience the enthralling world of live music through a highly professional concert series. It typically features some 28 events, including such world class performers as the Vienna Choir Boys, Moscow Philharmonic, New York City Opera, St. Louis Symphony, and even big-name jazz soloists. Many performers give inspiring master classes during their campus engagements. We offer you modern facilities with large teaching studios, ensemble rehearsal halls, and well-equipped practice areas. In addition, our outstanding performance halls include renowned Branscomb Auditorium -- a magnificently designed hall that's as striking as it is functional. How You'll Benefit This is where it really counts for you and your anxious parents who see you electing a "scary" artistic field for training! Our track record is exceptional in this vital area; our graduates are placed in top teaching assignments, accepted at the most prestigious graduate schools, and retained for careers in performing as well as commercial music fields like music management. What's more, despite our intense, high-level training, we're often told that our graduates are different from those in large "music factories." They are well-rounded individuals who know how to relate to the wide world beyond a music manuscript. View more details on Florida Southern College .
