B.A Music

The Warren Wilson music program is for students with career ambitions in music as well as those who wish to incorporate music into their broader liberal arts experience. It offers a major (BA) and minor, stressing regional and cultural contexts through a methodological hybrid of music theory and performance,Appalachian studies, cultural studies, musicology, and ethnomusicology. A cornerstone of the program is a unique concentration in Traditional.Music that emphasizes the multicultural roots, influences, and varieties of vernacular music within southern.Appalachia. Students with interests outside of Traditional Music can choose a concentration in General Music that maintains the framework of the degree with an alternative set of core criteria and coursework.
