The music curriculum combines theory and practice to provide students majoring in music with the necessary skills to excel in their area of concentration (performance, composition, history, and bluegrass). Students who complete the music major at Denison develop their full artistic, creative, and intellectual potential. They develop a working knowledge of both the history of Western music and the basic theoretical and formal concepts that will allow them to analyze musical works and reflect critically on musical performances. Students apply these skills in the performance of music both as soloists and within the context of larger ensembles. In addition to developing an understanding of performance practice appropriate to their area of study, our students experience music outside of the traditional Western canon (jazz, world music, American folk, African-American). In keeping with the goals of a liberal education, the department encourages students across the campus to seek private instrumental or vocal instruction and to participate in its varied ensembles, all in an effort to make music an integral aspect of life at Denison.

A major in music requires the completion of the requirements of the music core, the selected area of emphasis, performance requirements and the music portfolio.

Alexander Technique Workshop (MUSP-124).  The Alexander Technique is a widely recognized educational method for improving balance, alignment, ease, flexibility and energy. The Technique offers us insight into the underlying principles that govern human movement. When applied, these principles guide us to a dynamic kinesthetic lightness, wherein thinking becomes clearer, feeling accessible, sensations livelier, and movement more pleasurable. Within this fluid, more conscious condition, we find our actions and interactions strengthened and refined, our sense of time expanded, and our rapport with the environment restored. The workshop addresses structural problems treated by performing arts medicine and in addition, neuroscience research which supports evidence of misuse resulting in pain/injury by our own mental process and perceptions of our body's structure. We explore gentle movement and relaxation exercise as well as the application of Body Mapping to gain clear and accurate information about our anatomical structure for optimal movement. 1
