Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory

headers_theory2

The Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Theory includes a strong core of analysis, counterpoint and musicianship courses, but also emphasizes performance skills in an instrument or voice, and encourages the student to explore interests such as composition and computer music/music technology. The BA course of study culminates in a senior thesis, which is written with the supervision and assistance of a faculty advisor and one other faculty reader. Some senior theses involve an oral presentation component, while others are conceived as lecture-recitals.
