音乐作曲文学士

我们的使命是通过学生，以身作则的领导和访问艺术家的最高水平的表演，在学生，利哈伊大学家庭和整个社区中灌输对音乐的热爱。此外，我们通过为学生提供音乐技能，分析工具，个人指导和表演机会，努力培养学生对音乐的要求。我们希望通过接触重要的音乐体来提高音乐素养，在这些音乐体中，作品可以被视为艺术品的组成部分，可以看作是构思它们的文化和时代的反映。最后，我们努力通过组成，表现和研究项目来培养学生对这些技能和知识的创造性应用。为此，我们致力于开发每个学生的潜能，为Lehigh招募更多有才华的学生，并鼓励教师的创新和成长
Our mission is to instill a love for music in our students, the Lehigh University family, and the larger community, through performances given at the highest level possible by our students, faculty--who lead by example--and visiting artists. Further, we seek to foster the discipline music requires among our students by providing them with musicianship skills, analytical tools, individual instruction, and performance opportunities. We expect to promote musical literacy through exposure to a significant body of music wherein compositions can be viewed as integral works of art and as reflections of the culture and era in which they were conceived. Finally, we strive to develop students' creative application of these skills and knowledge through composition, performance, and research projects. To these ends, we work to develop each student's potential, recruit ever more talented students to Lehigh, and encourage the creative renewal and growth of our faculty.
