The Music major at Hamline University is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in hands-on musicianship, technical skills, and understanding music’s theoretical and historical aspects. Building on this foundation, students are encouraged to explore suggested pathways at the intermediate level further developing competencies in performance, composition, music technology, and/or non-profit management in the arts. All students majoring in music conclude their studies with a senior capstone experience that emphasizes holistic understanding based upon five learning outcomes, scaffolded strategically throughout the major curriculum.
