College of William and Mary

Students explore music through its interrelated subdisciplines — music theory, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, music technology and performance — in the context of a liberal arts curriculum. Music faculty strive to create a learning environment that encourages the intellectual and personal development of students and teachers alike by integrating the transmission of knowledge with original research, composition and performance. The program values the contributions of all musical cultures and styles, and in any given semester, offers courses that reflect this diversity. Music offers an exceptionally wide variety of academic courses and performing ensembles as well as private instruction in voice and all instruments from piano to mandolin to viola da gamba.
