Music - Franklin and Marshall College

Music from Franklin and Marshall College is a Campus Bachelor Music degree that prepares you for a Vocational Programs career. The study of music can be divided into four inter-related approaches: the creation of music (composition), the re-creation of music (performance), understanding music's systems (music theory) and understanding music's stylistic and societal contexts (music history and culture). Each of these areas draws on techniques and perspectives that are a focus in other approaches to music. Musical composition, for example, is not an entirely intuitive process, but makes use of knowledge gained through the study of music theory. Similarly, performance is most profound when it is informed by an understanding of the context for a work's style. And the history of musical style is myopic without taking into account the culture in which a style developed. The Music Department offers courses in all of these areas that are open to students with no formal background in music . All of its ensembles are open to the entire student body and some private lessons are offered at the beginning level; there are also courses in music theory and in music history and culture that are specifically oriented to students with little or no previous background in music. At the same time, there are many offerings for students who have already made music an important element of their lives. View more details on Franklin and Marshall College .
