Description
St. Olaf is already distinctive among top music programs because musicians at the College can study and perform at a high level without pursuing a major in music performance. This major exists to support the many musicians at St. Olaf whose strengths lie in traditions that may not rely on notational literacy or that may not involve European classical instruments. And whereas other music majors focus primarily on developing proficiency in music performance for the sake of becoming a better performer, this major anchors the study of music in a performance-oriented commitment to community engaged learning, asking the question, "how can we develop and deploy our musical gifts to address the needs of underserved communities?"
