Music Department

The Music Department teaches students how to think, create, perform, and communicate, and to do so in a critical, expressive, and articulate manner. We offer a stylistically and culturally diverse curriculum. For major and non-major alike, this curriculum provides challenging encounters with the multifaceted perspectives inherent in the study of music. Like all majors at Davidson, a major in music prepares the student for a wide variety of career choices. For the student pursuing music beyond the Davidson experience, the department offers a rigorous and thorough preparation for graduate study. The department offers cultural enrichment for the college community through performances, lectures, and master classes. In all of our endeavors, we seek to instill passion for music, music making, and its reception.
