Music

For students who want to improve as performers or dig into the theory and history of the art of music, AU offers the option of a music minor. Studying music at the college level creates a well-rounded academic program for students, especially for those planning careers in elementary education, communication, recreation administration, religion, theatre, art, history, or museum studies.  In completing the music minor, students deepen their understanding of music as both a performing art worthy of practice and a form of social communication that binds people across countries, cultures, ages, and eras.

If you have experience as a performer, or would like to work with others to prepare for public musical performances, set up an audition for an ensemble at the start of the semester.  If you have always wanted to learn to play or sing, sign up for a beginning course in voice or piano.
