The music major at Dickinson is notable for its high degree of one-on-one instruction. There are four tracks for majors—performance, music history, composition and analytical theory. Whichever track students choose, after completing their introductory courses, they work independently with the music faculty. All performance majors take weekly one-hour lessons and participate in a shared junior recital and solo senior recital. Theory, composition and history majors work individually with a faculty member on a senior project. In addition, all Dickinson students, majors and non-majors, are encouraged to participate in any of our various musical ensembles.
