Department of Music
About the Department
Music was one of the revered medieval liberal arts, and it still has a solid place on our college campus.
The Music Division, The New York Public Library at Lincoln Center, Aster, Lenox and Tilden Foundations.
"Music expresses feeling and thought, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words."
—Robert G. Ingersoll
On the radio. In the elevator. At the mall. In your head.
Music is around us almost wherever we go, 24/7.
Whether you're aspiring to career in music or you just like listening to it, the music department has a class for you. You can study music by genre or historical periods, or take unique courses about music and gender or ethnomusicology. There are plenty of opportunities for you to make your own music, too, with private lessons or in one of our vocal or instrumental groups.
With all the iPods, radios, and online streaming audio, it's difficult to find a place without music, and with our talented faculty, and creative student musicians, and amazing opportunities, you won't want to.
