Questionnaire for Interested Students

Lewis & Clark’s Department of Music provides an exceptional program with a wealth of opportunities for students interested in music. Our faculty of active performers, composers, and musicologists offer their expertise to prepare professionally oriented students for careers in music. They also have the breadth of perspective to help majors and nonmajors integrate music studies into a liberal arts education. With courses and activities designed to deepen understanding and appreciation of music, Lewis & Clark’s music faculty strive to establish music as an integral and perpetually enriching element in the lives of their students.

All music majors study literature, theory, and musicianship, and take weekly lessons in their performance area. Lewis & Clark's outstanding ensembles further develop skills in group music-making, and deepen students' knowledge of repertoire and performance styles. Lewis & Clark is unique in its integration of Western and non-Western musics at the undergraduate level, and has a long history of exceptional programs in musicology, ethnomusicology, composition, performance, and music education.
