Music at ASC

Welcome!

Welcome to the Music Department Website. Music has been traditionally an important component of a liberal arts education, both as an avenue for creative expression and as a humanities discipline.The music curriculum at ASC gives students a breadth of knowledge and a depth of understanding in the traditions of western music. It also offers many opportunities for performance. The program incorporates the special musical contributions of women and of other cultures. The guiding philosophy behind the curriculum is that music is a humanistic art that enriches lives and amplifies history.

The program for music majors provides a balanced approach in the study of theory, history and performance. It concludes with a capstone Senior Seminar and a Senior Recital for those emphasizing performance. Graduating seniors should be adequately prepared to enter graduate programs or the professional world.
