Department of Music at Lafayette College
Unlike a more specialized conservatory, Lafayette’s Department of Music is flexible and allows all students, regardless of experience or major, to develop their musical interests. Studying music builds technical and analytical skills as well as an appreciation of the historic and creative aspects of the artistic process.
The study and performance of music:
fosters powers of discrimination and critical awareness;
sharpens the faculties of perception, feeling, and understanding; and
develops sensitivity to the depth and subtlety of human expression.
The department is committed to the study of music as an important element of a liberal arts education and offers students-regardless of their major-the opportunity and means to experience music emotionally and intellectually. The department meets this goal by offering a variety of courses in four principal areas: music history and literature, music theory and analysis, performance, and composition.
