Music Major
A Music Major is required to take a total of nine course credits, including:
  • Music 201
  • Music 301
  • Music 302
  • Three course credits selected from Music 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216
  • Two additional course credits other than Music 101, 103, 104
  • Two years of participation in an ensemble
  • Two years of individual applied instruction (Music 261, 361)
  • A Senior Project which explores a particular area of the student's interest.
Majors are designed around this core and the specific interests of the student: Concentrations in composition, theory, music history, and performance are possible. Majors are encouraged to take the Music Theory sequence (Music 201, 301, 302) early in their undergraduate careers, as these courses form a foundation for other work in the department. Music Majors are also expected to continue to develop their musicianship skills--beyond the level achieved within work associated with Music Theory courses--throughout their years at Wabash. The senior comprehensive examination includes dictation and keyboard harmony components.

Music Minor
A Music Minor is required to take a total of five course credits, including:

  • Music 201
  • One course credit selected from Music 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216
  • One year of individual applied instruction (Music 261)
  • Two and one half additional credits
