Music

At W&M, students immerse themselves in music through its interconnected disciplines — music theory, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, music technology and performance — within a dynamic liberal arts environment. Music faculty strive to create a learning environment that encourages the intellectual and personal development of students and teachers alike by integrating the transmission of knowledge with original research, composition and performance. Each semester, nearly a quarter of W&M undergraduates engage in music courses, applied lessons and ensembles, while thousands of music lovers attend performances by our students, faculty and guest artists.
