Music

Cornish has pioneered a unified degree that grounds our students in the essentials, yet offers individualized pathways that lead to discovery.

Vocalists, instrumentalists, and composers work side-by-side in the same curriculum, allowing ample opportunity for focused study and experimentation. As a music major, you’ll center your work in private instruction in your primary area of study, develop advanced skills in theory, composition, and music technology, and collaborate on your own creative projects.

Understand music through the lens of history, culture, and politics. Learn to communicate these ideas effectively as a performer, writer, and speaker.
