http://www.whitworth.edu/music

The Whitworth Music Department strives to be a community of musicians that recognizes creativity as an essential aspect of being created in God’s image, and a place where individual and community creativity are blended toward a higher purpose. We prepare students for further studies and professional careers in music, as well as for a vocational involvement in music, through the study of the discipline on both a theoretical and practical basis.

MusicThe learning outcomes of this major will develop the following:

  • Technical skill and musicianship in both individual and ensemble performance
  • A strong foundation in music theory, analysis, and aural skills
  • Knowledge of a wide selection of musical literature, and an understanding of the aesthetic properties of style and the way they shape and are shaped by cultural and artistic forces
  • An understanding of the intersection between musical art and worldview, and of the vocation of the musician in community
Note to all music majors: Additional information about course requirements and scheduling is included in the publication Student Guide to a Music Major, which is available from the Music Department.
