Department of Performance Studies

Students from widely divergent musical backgrounds and interests 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. The music section of the Department of Performance Studies offers instruction for students who wish to study music as one of the liberal arts. Introductory and advanced courses emphasize the interrelationships among the music history, theory, ethnomusicology, composition, technology and performance. Attendance at the numerous concerts and lectures presented each year and participation in the performing ensembles are encouraged to broaden the classroom experience.
