University of Virginia (McIntire Department of Music - University of Virginia)
As a liberal arts department, music has a two-fold mission to serve both aspiring music professionals and non-professionals for whom music is a vital interest. Members of the distinguished academic faculty of historians, theorists and composers are principally involved in training students in the materials of their craft, as well as engaging them in ideas about music and its larger cultural context. Students thus may learn the principles of theory, analysis and composition, study history, criticism, and interdisciplinary approaches, and investigate new or lesser-known musical worlds, whether computer music, jazz, ethnic musics, performance practice, women and music, or unfamiliar terrain within the broad umbrella of Western European art music. Such studies are available to students at all levels from the uninformed music lover to the skilled professional pursuing advanced work.
