CURRICULUM
Shenandoah grants a Bachelor of Music in Commercial Music degree upon
completion of the four-year program. The curriculum emphasizes three broad areas:
recording and composition of commercial music and applied music.
In addition, all students major in voice or their chosen instrument and
are thoroughly trained as performers. Students receive private applied
instruction throughout the program. All students minor in a secondary
performance area as well.
Bass, brass, guitar, piano, saxophone and percussion
students may elect to complete their applied music and ensemble requirements by
following the Jazz Applied Study Option
in lieu of the more traditional classical study.
Those students in the
classical music concentration who wish to obtain the highest level of
performance may opt to pursue the Conservatory's Performance
Certificate.
The curriculum is supported
by a core of theoretical, music literature-history, and academic courses that are necessary for both the
acquisition of professional competence and admission to reputable graduate
schools. A broad range of electives allow the student to gain knowledge and
expertise according to his or her interests.
