The AOC in 音乐 develops students’ musicianship as they engage with a wide array of musical styles and theoretical approaches. 音乐 students listen, 观察, interpret, perform and create, in order to develop historically- and culturally informed approaches to music and sound.
关于 the 音乐 Area of Concentration
Students are encouraged to integrate approaches to music and sound across academic and artistic disciplines and areas of study to achieve the breadth that a liberal arts institution makes possible. Students also combine music with another AOC or study music as part of an AOC in Humanities, Liberal 艺术, or a Special Program AOC created by the student (Media Studies, Sound Studies, Performance Studies). Courses in 音乐 range widely, and include such topics as 音乐 Theory; Electronic Composition; Opera, 芭蕾舞, and the Supernatural; Sound Studies; Popular 音乐 and Societies of the Hispanic Caribbean; and 音乐 and the Environment. Relevant coursework in fields from Anthropology, Sociology, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Science, 英语, Gender Studies, Environmental Studies, and Biology are encouraged, for exampmle, Anthropology of Performance or Sociology of the 艺术.
Performance at New College offers a further opportunity to integrate theory and practice. New 音乐 New College presents world-class performers of contemporary and experimental music in concert, involving students in at least one performance each academic year. Student musicians may perform in the New College Chorus or Chamber 音乐 Ensemble. Off-campus opportunities exist as well, including Sarasota Orchestra’s education program or State College of Florida’s concert band.
“A New 音乐 New College concert is an experience that is created by everyone in the room, together. These events celebrate the creative potential of musicians and audiences, and often break down walls between the two. Building community and knowledge through music is a mission that resonates with the broader mission of the College, and the series couldn’t have grown from any other environment. “
