Minor in Music
The Minor in Music offers the opportunity for non-music majors to participate in the performing, creative, and scholarly activities of the Music Department. The 19-unit minor begins with lower-division introductory studies in music appreciation, music theory, and on performing on an instrument/voice, and continues with participation in chamber and/or large performance ensembles (such as orchestra, choir, or band), as well as upper-division elective courses in the scholarly and/or musicological study of various topics within the discipline.
