Department of Music
The Department of Music is one of the most active departments on campus. Through our vast program of traditional classes, private music lessons, and performance opportunities, you can explore and experience music in ways you can only begin to imagine. Learn about how you could study musical theater, production, recording, world music, composition, performance, and more! We feature a talented and dedicated faculty who embrace music from a variety of styles from around the globe. Participate in travel courses to Cuba.
The department offers programming throughout the year through musical productions, concert series, and the piano festival. Our students also benefit from our location in Chestertown and its arts programs, including collaborations with the Kent Cultural Alliance.
The department offers a major or minor in music, and contributes to several interdisciplinary minors, including ethnomusicology, arts management and entrepreneurship, and various other minors throughout the College focused on cultural traditions.
