Overview

Students in the Music Integrated Studies program of Vanderbilt University declare a primary performance area or composition, and in addition to these primary area requirements, they are required to declare a concentration in another musical area. Some examples of music concentrations are: conducting, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, pedagogy, music theory, jazz, multiple winds, collaborative arts, or an individually designed area. This program provides a solid foundation in the study of music and liberal arts, as well as the opportunity to develop and refine a secondary discipline in music.

Because well-educated performers and musicians understand music's foundations and progression, the program also emphasizes knowledge of music theory, musicianship, conducting, and musicology/ethnomusicology. In addition, all music students complete a varied liberal arts core of coursework.
