Studying Music
We study music for many reasons.
You may want to become a professional musician – a performer or a composer, a song-writer or a scholar. You might be interested in discovering what makes music work as a language, how it communicates to people now, how it communicated to people in the past, and what it means to people in various world cultures. You might be thinking of a career as a music teacher, either teaching privately or in a school setting. You may want to explore music just because you’re interested in it.
