The Bachelor of Arts in Music offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of music with courses in composition, ethnomusicology, music history, music theory, music technology. and performance as well as classes relating to other disciplines including Anthropology, Dance, Performance Studies, Philosophy, Theater, and Visual Arts. Course work explores a wide range of musics—Western and non-Western; past and present; transmitted by oral, written, and electronic means. Such courses examine sonic structures, notational systems (if used), and styles of performance, and investigate the relationship of music to other arts.

Minor in Music

Students from widely divergent musical backgrounds and interests are encouraged to become involved in the study and practice of the musical arts at Texas A&M as a complement to their major fields of study. The music section of the Department of Performance Studies offers instruction for students who wish to study music as one of the liberal arts. Introductory and advanced courses emphasize the interrelationships among the music history, theory, ethnomusicology, composition, technology and performance. Attendance at the numerous concerts and lectures presented each year and participation in the performing ensembles are encouraged to broaden the classroom experience. Students desiring to undertake the structured approach to the study of music may wish to consider the Music Minor Program.
