Departmental Mission
Statement
The primary
goal of the Department is to generate and sustain an environment of creative
inspiration and excellence in the practice, understanding and appreciation of
the musical arts, for the benefit of students, faculty and the community at
large.
The Department
is committed to providing an outstanding forum for the training of students
seeking professional or education careers, preparing for advanced degree
programs, or pursuing non-major study in the areas of performance, composition,
conducting, jazz studies, theory, history, music education, pedagogy, music
technology and ethnomusicology.
As part of an
urban university, the Department acknowledges its responsibility to support the
creative interaction of students, faculty and community through activities that
enhance the educational experience, provide opportunities for professional
development and enrich the artistic and cultural life of the city and region.
The
Departmental faculty embrace the dual goals of open access and outstanding
achievement in order to produce graduates who make significant impacts on the
musical profession nationally and internationally, while providing a diverse
student body of traditional and non-traditional students with an educational
experience that promotes appreciation for and participation in the music-making
process.
