Goals and Objectives

1. Offer substantial opportunities to the general student, through appropriate courses, performing ensembles, and private lessons, which will develop a love for and understanding of music, the ability to communicate that appreciation and understanding, and the means to continue life-long music experiences.
2. Develop comprehensive musicianship and provide career preparation, a basic mastery of the music discipline, and performance skills for music majors in a particular emphasis (core major, music education, music performance, music theater, piano pedagogy, jazz, and church music).
3. Enhance and enrich the cultural life of the campus community and the community at large through a regular and well-supported program that presents students, faculty, and guest musicians in recitals, concerts, and other musical events.
4. Participate in worship and liturgy and to assist in proclaiming the Gospel to the campus community and to the larger community.
5. Function as a center providing comprehensive opportunities to the surrounding communities for music study and for participation in music performance activities.

To realize these goals and objectives, the department offers academic courses, a variety of performance ensembles, class and private lessons, and on- and off-campus concerts. For those who would specialize in music, the program provides professional training wholly compatible with the College's liberal arts tradition.

An audition before members of the music faculty is required for entrance into the music major. At the end of their sophomore year, all music majors are evaluated for junior standing. They must show they have fulfilled repertoire requirements in their performance area through the sophomore year, and they must satisfactorily perform 15-20 minutes of music from that list. If this junior-standing jury is insufficient in either repertoire or performance, the faculty may admit the student provisionally to junior standing in the major or advise the student to discontinue the music major.

The previous represents the minimum requirements for a music major or minor. In addition to the basic BA in Music major, emphases in specific areas are available. The emphases in Music Education - General and Choral or General and Instrumental - meet current Wisconsin licensure requirements and they also meet the standards of the National Association of Schools of Music.

For students who seek further depth and skills development, emphases is available in Church Music.
