Bachelors in Music Studies

HSS offers a number of courses in music, all of which are taught by Thomas Neenan, lecturer in music history and music theory. These include a three-term music history sequence, offered annually, that gives students the opportunity to study the major periods in music history in considerable depth. In addition, a three-term music theory sequence is offered in alternate years. Beginning with music fundamentals, students progress to analysis of musical form and chromatic harmony. The third term gives students the opportunity to compose in a variety of styles, from classical to pop.
