The Occidental College Music Department is a community that values and cultivates the creation, performance, and critical study of the world’s musics. Students majoring in music develop an integrated understanding of music as creative work, as cultural and historical expression, and as performance. Through its curriculum, recitals, lectures, master classes, residencies, and other public events, the Music Department leads the musical discourse that enriches College and community life.
Students study, practice, and perform in Booth Music Hall and Thorne Hall, with access to practice rooms, large and small performance venues, a well-equipped electronic music studio, and an outstanding music library of scores, recordings, and computers with musicianship and music notation programs.
