Learning outcomes

So come let us help you prepare for the real world. Collaboration? Join one of our many ensembles. Creativity? Learn musical thinking in a theory or composition class. Discipline? Study Music or an instrument in Dickinson College performance studies programme. Making connections? Try musical study in any of our course offerings and explore new intersections of cognition, culture, and history.

But the heart of the programme is our students, a passionate community of majors and non-majors critically involved in the humanistic art of music and its myriad social, cultural and analytical contexts. Their energy and drive are visible throughout the Weiss Center, in our rehearsals and performance studios, our classrooms and seminars and in the beautiful acoustic setting of Rubendall Recital Hall. Perhaps that's why our alumni have consistently been selected for prestigious internships, international fellowships, young artist programmes and graduate programmes.
