NEWS Open Auditions for the Adelphi Symphony for the 2008 - 2009 season start on Friday, August 29 More Information

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) with a major in music is a comprehensive program that prepares students for professional careers in performance, composition, and music business. The program is also designed for students who intend to pursue graduate studies or become music educators. Students hone their skills through a course of study that emphasizes performance experience. Coursework is augmented by on-campus visits by musicologists, performers, critics, composers, administrators, and educators who share their insights on the current trends in music.

Acceptance as a music major is contingent upon passing a performance audition. Theory and ear-training tests are required for proper placement within the sequence of theory and musicianship courses. This audition and set of tests must be completed before final admission to Adelphi University is granted.

NEWS Music and Dance Gala Events Slated for October 2008 The year 2008 marks not only our entry into wonderful new facilities, but the 70th anniversary of the founding of both the Dance and Music departments. Gala events celebrating these milestones and heralding the opening of our new state-of-the-art facilities are being planned for October 2008. Details to follow.

Classes provide a foundation in music theory, sight-reading and music history. Performance experience is gained through:

• instrumental or vocal lessons
• participation in orchestral, choral, or chamber music groups
