Music with Emphasis in Performance B.A.
The Bachelor of Arts with an Emphasis in Performance (Vocal or Instrumental) is designed for students who wish to achieve a high level of proficiency in performance, with a primary focus on the classical tradition. Prospective students for the performance emphasis must be able to read notated music and demonstrate strong technical proficiency in their instrument/voice at the time of audition. Degree candidates receive thorough instruction in music theory and history and take courses in a variety of other disciplines to achieve the breadth of learning that characterizes a liberal arts degree. Candidates demonstrate their achievement in performance at the end of their degree by performing a public recital.
