• Innovative learning environment and performing arts center

• Open rehearsals and pre-concert lectures

• Organ crawl and demonstration with world-renowned organist Bradley Welch

• Interdisciplinary collaborations

Music Theory

Music is a language that speaks to all, a language that many speak, and yet a language—the syntax of which—few people understand. In Music Theory we look and listen to great music, and we explore how it works. Music, just like language, is replete with meaning. By dissecting and analyzing music, we study its organization, meaning, and learn why it has certain effects on us.
