The study of music is an integral part of the liberal arts tradition. At Gustavus Adolphus College, the Department of Music offers historical, theoretical, pedagogical, and performance courses that promote an integration of musical knowledge, sensitivity, skills, and critical thinking. In addition, the music lab, which contains MIDI workstations, offers students the opportunity to experience the integration of modern technology and music studies. Gustavus Adolphus College is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music. Our affiliation with this association is given due consideration in decisions affecting the College requirements for graduation.

The Bachelor of Arts in Music and the Bachelor of Arts in Music Education majors ordinarily are declared in the spring of the first year; majors are identified by a special audition on their primary instrument/voice and their enrollment in the music theory/music history sequence and performance studies. Registration in both lessons and ensembles is required each semester in residence on campus. Detailed information is provided to majors in the departmental online Music Student Handbook (gustavus.edu/academics/music/Handbook). In addition to the completion of the major, students are encouraged to choose cognate programs that meet special interests or satisfy additional requirements. Music majors often continue studies in graduate school and establish careers as educators, performers, and church musicians, or pursue other music-related careers.

Statement of Mission

The mission of the Music Department is to teach majors and non-majors how to develop their full potential as musicians and to share the department’s heritage of excellence in notable performances on the Gustavus Adolphus campus and with communities around this nation and the world.

The curriculum of the Music Department aspires to teach music students to intelligently and artistically express themselves through a broad range of genres in musical performance, composition, and discourse.

The Music Department affirms the transformational nature of a mature understanding of the core value of music in a liberal arts education and promotes a passion for lifelong engagement with music.

Music Major:

A grade of C– or higher is required in all courses used to satisfy the requirements for the major. A major consists of 14.13 course credits, including:

  1. Theory, History and Pedagogy of Music; eight course credits including MUS-103, MUS-104, MUS-111, MUS-112, MUS-211, MUS-212, MUS-214, MUS-374, MUS-375, MUS-380, and either MUS-385 or MUS-387.
  2. Music Performance; six course credits in lessons and ensembles divided as follows: four course credits of lessons (MUS-245 to MUS-267 and MUS-345 to MUS-367) with a minimum concentration (3 course credits) in the primary instrument/voice, and two course credits of ensembles (MUS-150 to MUS-194). Unless enrolled in student teaching or study abroad, students must include study of their primary instrument during both semesters of their senior year. All ensembles must be taken “for credit” in order to count in the major. Appropriate ensembles for voice majors are MUS-155 and MUS-156. Appropriate ensembles for instrumental majors are MUS-161, MUS-165 or MUS-170. A .25 ensemble is the required registration for all majors, unless, on the basis of audition, they are assigned to a .13 ensemble. (In the case of the latter, enrollment in a second .13 ensemble would complete the requirement.) Keyboard students may satisfy part of the ensemble requirement through supervised accompanying in MUS-140 or MUS-141. Guitar majors are encouraged to satisfy part of the ensemble requirement through MUS-175 or MUS-189.
  3. MUS-390 Senior Major Capstone Experience (.13 course in senior year.)

Music Education Major:

Admission to the Music Education major is by application and interview in the Department of Education, normally during the sophomore year. Music Education majors must complete all Music major requirements (see above), plus MUS-102, Music of World Cultures; MUS-117, Improvisation (or successful completion of the departmental Improvisation Packet in their primary lessons); MUS-371, Music Arranging; MUS-378, Classroom Music Methods; an elective dance class; complete all other courses required for licensure (see Department of Education) and satisfy the requirements for vocal and/or instrumental specializations listed below. Licensure rules in Minnesota are periodically redesigned by the Board of Teaching. As a result, the Gustavus Teacher Education Programs may need to be revised. Please contact your adviser frequently for updates and to make any necessary changes in program plans.

    1. MUS-207, MUS-331, MUS-332, MUS-334, MUS-336 and MUS-338.
    2. The following adjustments in courses for the major are necessary to meet licensure requirements for this specialization:
      1. The primary instrument must be voice; i.e., 3 course credits must be earned in six semesters of applied voice.
      2. A secondary instrument must be established by 1 course credit (two semesters) of private lessons; the recommended secondary instrument is keyboard, although students with equivalent piano skills may elect a different instrument after consultation with the piano area coordinator.
      3. The primary ensemble experience must be choral (at least 1 course credit must be in MUS-155 and/or MUS-156).

    2. The Music major ensemble requirement is increased to 2.25 course credits of which .25 course credit is required using the secondary instrument.
    3. The following adjustments in courses for the major are necessary to meet licensure requirements for this specialization:
      1. The primary instrument must be chosen from MUS-249/349 to 253/353 or, MUS-255/355 to 264/364; i.e., 3 course credits must be earned in six semesters of study on a wind, percussion or string instrument.
      2. A secondary instrument must be established by 1 course credit (two semesters) of private lessons; the secondary instrument must be chosen from a different family of instruments than the primary instrument (MUS-245 to 247 or, MUS-249 to 267).
      3. The primary ensemble experience must be instrumental (at least 1 course credit must be in MUS-165 and/or MUS-170).
      4. .25 course credit of the ensemble requirement must be MUS-160 or MUS-161 and/or MUS-173 to 194.
      5. MUS-387 is required.

Departmental Honors in Performance, Composition, or History-Literature: The purpose of departmental Honors is to promote individual excellence in the art of music through intensive study in performance including recitals and demonstrated scholarship in support of these performances; or through advanced analytical and creative work in composition; or through specialized courses and independent research and writing projects in history-literature. Students should consult the online Music Student Handbook for detailed information.

  1. Entrance Requirements
    1. A minimum GPA of 3.5 is required in music courses and must be maintained throughout the program.
    2. A minimum overall GPA of 3.25 is required and must be maintained throughout the program.

In cases where the adviser and program administrator are the same, two other members of the music faculty are selected in consultation with the student.
    5. Successful evaluation by the student’s Honors Committee of one of the following projects: for Performance, a junior recital (half recital); for Composition, a theory project or composition/performance from MUS-291; for History-Literature, a research paper from MUS-374 or MUS-375.
