Majors in this program have a primary interest in professional concertizing, studio teaching (private or in a college or university), or commercial music performance. Some students envision this program as preparing them for other professional goals, such as church music, conducting, graduate study in music, or a facet of the music business. The faculty has designed the curricula to include a large complement of liberal studies (40 credits) along with the course work in music (90 credits).
