Music is one of the oldest disciplines in the liberal arts, and one of the traditional fields of knowledge. Integration with other disciplines is represented well within the department, for music brings people in contact with great literature, poetry, dance, historical and sociological trends, and with religious and philosophical ideas.
The philosophy and mission of Albion College are reflected in four primary goals of the Music Department: 1. To be an artistic presence on campus and to share the rich heritage of great music with students, faculty and community 2. To expose students to and involve them with the creative process through music, to heighten students' sensitivity to themselves and others, and to introduce them to a broad range of significant music 3. To develop an understanding of music, impart knowledge of music and increase musical skills by means of courses offered within the framework of the liberal arts 4. To provide courses and curricula for music majors so they may have the necessary foundation for graduate study, teaching, performing, or other career-oriented goals. The Music Department offers courses for a broad range of students - from those who aspire to a musical career to those who wish to develop their vocational interests in music. Membership in all performing ensembles and opportunities for private music lessons are open to all students regardless of major. We offer three music curricula: • Music Major with Performance Emphasis • Music Major with Music Education Emphasis To learn more about our majors, select the curriculum button from the menu on the left.
