音乐系
Love what you do—share what you love
On any given day, at almost any time, the Melvin K. West Fine Arts Center is filled with the sounds and sights of students studying music: ensembles rehearsing, 私人课程, classes being taught—classes small enough to feel like seminars—and students studying together. Collective striving for excellence and warm community spirit are everywhere in evidence.
Whether preparing for a career or pursuing curiosity in music, 沃拉沃拉大学’s Adventist music program strives to heighten aesthetic sensitivity, illuminate music’s power to express the human experience in a uniquely abstract way, and enhance campus life and that of the larger community.

大学经历
What will your college experience look like as a music major?
You will be introduced to music as both an art form and as a reflection of culture. For aspiring musicians, WWU’s music program provides comprehensive instruction in performance, 理论, 历史, 和技术. The department-sponsored 音乐 Club organizes many different kinds of musical or music-related events throughout the year. All ensembles perform regularly—on and off campus, in and out of state. In addition to a few smaller tours, one or two major ensemble tours typically take place every year, and students have many solo performance opportunities. A number of music departmental employment opportunities are also available to students.
