Curricula in Performance Studies
Music Minor
Students are encouraged to become involved in the study and practice of the musical arts at Texas A&M as a complement to their major fields of study. Introductory and advanced courses emphasize the interrelationships among music history, theory, ethnomusicology, composition, technology, performance and other visual and performing arts. Attendance at the numerous concerts and lectures presented each year and participation in the performing ensembles are encouraged to broaden the classroom experience. Students desiring to undertake the structured approach to the study of music may wish to consider the Music Minor Program.
