Music Mission

The overall mission of the St. Norbert College Music Department is the preparation of students for careers in teaching, performance and related music professions. At St. Norbert College, students have the opportunity to enrich their musical understanding and sensitivity through courses in music appreciation, theory, history and music performance. Music is not merely a skill to be mastered but can be considered more deeply as an expression of the feelings, values and aspirations found throughout human history. Our curriculum exposes students to music of different eras, religious beliefs and cultures with the purpose of developing understanding and a lifelong appreciation of the musical arts.
