Requirements for the minor in Music-Instrumental Emphasis:
The music minor with instrumental emphasis is a great option for students who love music but feel called to another major. Our program aims to deepen students’ understanding of the art of music through private lessons, jazz and wind ensemble performance, and academic studies in music history and theory. A minor in music can also be a wonderful supplement to other programs of study—such as business, religion, and media studies—where musical experience would be advantageous in finding and excelling in future employment.
