About the program
Music is one of the seven original liberal arts—and it’s just as indispensable for modern students as it was for the ancient Greeks.
Whether you dream of life as a composer, or you simply want to keep playing your instrument, Macalester’s Music Department has something to offer you. Music serves a fundamental human need, allowing us to explore, express, and communicate, both as individuals and as entire cultures. As a discipline, music offers an irreplaceable perspective and critical lens, both of which help fulfill the broader mission of Macalester.
Our curriculum includes courses in the craft of music, including performance, theory, and composition, as well as opportunities to learn conducting and recording
