The music program at Fairfield offers the intimacy of a tight-knit arts community embedded within a broad liberal arts education. Our majors and minors develop their creative skills by exploring the many dimensions of music, while also building their critical, analytical and aesthetic thinking skills. This approach results in the cultivation of our student?s love for and life-long commitment to music. Our faculty provides critiques in classes, lectures, and immersive workshops. Students can also supplement classroom learning with private lessons and performing group experience. Through the program, you will collaborate with peers across disciplines and through internship opportunities. The training received in the Music Department allows you to become cultured leaders on the forefront of music, music education and other related fields. Music allows for analytic, critical, and speculative humanistic inquiry, but is built on a foundation of mathematics and science. It allows creativity and personal interpretation and requires a rigorous understanding of syntax and abstract reasoning; it provides insight into culture and history and relates to and illuminates what is happening here and now; it is a language by which we can communicate with one another and is an art that expresses what words cannot. As one of the original seven liberal arts, music maintains a place in the university as a subject of broad and passionate interest to educators, historians, performers, composers, and theorists, as well as those interested in arts management, recording, music industry, and the interaction of music with other arts such as film and theatre. At Fairfield, all of these form a community dedicated to furthering a knowledge and love of music. We not only want students to understand, evaluate, and analyze music, but also want to make music a meaningful part of their life. We want students to find the passion in music and to actively engage with the issues and the contexts surrounding, impacting, and influencing music. The study of music is not just about preserving knowledge of the past - it is a field of study that provides forums for debate and action, and also delivers content that gives context to learning. The goals of the Music program are to: Offer students a variety of opportunities to develop musical skills and knowledge Acquaint students with the growing scope and substance of musical thought and practice Advance the historical, theoretical, and critical study of music Equip students with technical, cognitive, and creative skills that will enable them to use their knowledge effectively in any field or discipline Foster students' understanding of both the creative process in music and the products of musical creation Develop the ability to write critically and analytically, and express a well-developed opinion both orally and in writing Provide students the knowledge and modes of inquiry characteristic of other disciplines Cultivate in students the desire for continued musical and intellectual growth throughout their lives
