Music Department
The Music Department of Colorado State University Pueblo seeks to promote excellence in musicianship and to equip students for a career in music. The major in music leads to a degree of Bachelor of Arts (BA).
Mission, Goals, & Objectives
The mission of the Department of Music at Colorado State University Pueblo is to prepare undergraduate students to function professionally in their chosen field of music within the larger context of a liberal education, to provide artistic enrichment for the community, and to serve as an artistic resource.
The goals of the Department of Music are:
- To prepare students to function professionally in their field of music,
- To provide appropriate musical experiences for students in the liberal arts program,
- To prepare students to pursue advanced study in their respective areas,
- To encourage in all students the development of musical sensitivity and an understanding of the aesthetic process, and
- To provide for the University and community the enrichment afforded by a variety of musical experiences.
The objectives of the Department of Music used to accomplish the goals outlined above include:
- To offer courses and related experiences of an appropriate nature and quality and of sufficient breadth to allow the student adequate opportunity to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills;
- To offer and encourage student participation in a variety of ensembles and other instructional opportunities, allowing for varying musical tastes, experiences, and abilities;
- To challenge each music student to progress beyond the minimum requirements of a degree program, and to provide opportunities for growth beyond classroom instruction;
- To present music in a manner that promotes it as an art form; and
- To offer and promote quality performance and instruction, and to serve as an artistic resource.
Degrees in Music
The general Bachelor of Arts in Music provides a broad base for a number of careers in music such as private studio teaching, and is intended as preparation for advanced graduate study.
The Bachelor of Arts in Music: Music Performance Emphasis is appropriate for those students who plan to perform, teach privately, or pursue further study at the graduate level.
The Bachelor of Arts in Music Education is a professional degree and provides the essential training, knowledge and skills necessary for a teaching career in choral, instrumental, or general music. The degree leads to K-12 music teacher licensure in choral, instrumental, and general music.
The University also offers the traditional liberal arts Minor in Music suited for students in majors other than Music desiring a foundational curriculum in Music. The Minor in Audio Production is open to students in all majors (including Music) who have a strong background in music fundamentals (basic performance, musical notation and theory). The Minor in Composition/Music Theory, Minor in Jazz Studies, and the Minor in Piano Pedagogy, are primarily intended as concentration areas of study for students in BA-Music (General or Performance concentration) majors, but are open to students in any major satisfying course prerequisites.
Master of Education/Music Concentration
