MUSIC CONCENTRATION
Students majoring in Fine Arts may select music as an area of concentration, with tracks in vocal performance,
piano, or instrumental studies. An audition before a faculty member is required of all Fine Arts Majors
wishing to concentrate in music. A theory placement examination is required of all incoming students. This
evaluation is to determine the level at which a student must begin in the theory sequence.

1. To interpret musical scores of various musical styles and genres using basic music vocabulary,
including the elements of music (pitch, rhythm, intensity and timbre),
2. To interpret and create and perform music through proper vocal and instrumental techniques
(including breathing, intonation, phrasing, and stage deportment),
3. To present musical performance practices of various historical periods and ethnic traditions.
4. To illustrate musicianship through ear-training, sight singing, repertoire study and keyboard
proficiency.
