Students with a concentration in Musicology: History, Composition, and Criticism will have the ability to:
- investigate music in a critical way
- expand the range of analytical methods, theoretical perspectives, creative techniques, and research approaches developed in the music major core
- apply skills and knowledge developed in core music theory, history, and ethnomusicology courses to focused analytical, critical, and creative studies that may involve analyzing the style and structure of past and present music, investigating its place in history and culture, and/or creating works of musical art through a variety of media
- grow as thinkers, creators, and researchers through interactions with repertoires not included in the music major core
- connect and synthesize the components of the concentration (history, composition, criticism) in creative and critical ways
- demonstrate the acquisition, development, and synthesis of such skills and knowledge through a senior project that reflects the student’s particular interests in the concentration
