Music - Manhattanville College

Music from Manhattanville College is a Campus Bachelor Music degree that prepares you for a Vocational Programs career. Manhattanville\'s music programs offer broad opportunities both for the music major and the liberal arts student. It is in pursuing that dual purpose, to train future professionals and to serve the aesthetic needs of the liberal arts major, that the core philosophy of the Music Department is most apparent. The faculty seeks to provide performance experiences for majors and non-majors and encourages all students to explore broader intellectual horizons by enrolling in a wide variety of courses. The Manhattanville music curriculum allows for a strong emphasis on creativity and individual expression without sacrificing the development of necessary skills and self-discipline. Courses are available for all college students in specialized areas of music education, musical performance, musical theatre, music management, music technology, music history, music theory and composition and jazz studies. Participation in and appreciation of live musical performances are essential within the music department, and the department presents many regularly scheduled concerts and recitals. All music majors are required to attend performances as part of course and major requirements. Students who do not take part in the musical life of the College will not be able to major in music. Manhattanville College offers several degree programs in Music . Music majors may pursue either the Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Music , the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music with a concentration in either Music Management or Musical Theatre, or the Bachelor of Music Degree with a major in Music Education. Since fall 2005, the College has offered a combined degree honors program with the School of Education to allow an accelerated Bachelor of Music in music education and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree. The combined degree program allows students to double count 15 credits towards both degrees. Successful completion of the graduate program results in a permanent teaching certification for New York State. Opportunities exist for public performances, both on and off campus, through membership in a variety of performing organizations. It is not uncommon to find the major and non-major performing side by side. The department also offers a flexible minor in music to address the diverse interests of students interested in music as a supplementary subject area. For all of our degree programs, the primary objective of the Music Department is to provide the means and environment that will equip our graduates to take their place in the world of music outside the campus walls. We take very seriously our role to encourage in students the responsibility to use their individual talents in ways that will benefit and serve the community-at-large. Ultimately, we aim to provide an environment where music study will inspire young men and women to pursue lifelong learning and pleasure in music . View more details on Manhattanville College .
