Music Outreach: Volunteers Needed!
Interested in sharing your love of music with elementary and high school students? Visit our Music Outreach page for information about our volunteer programs in Boston-area schools.
The Music Department provides a holistic and versatile education in music theory, performance, and history. Grounded in Boston College's liberal arts tradition, our courses, lessons, and ensembles are designed to engage the intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual faculties of our students and the wider community.
Programs
The music major offers world-class training in music theory and performance within a liberal arts framework. Students encounter diverse perspectives on music, preparing for a wide range of careers.
The minor in music is a serious alternative for students who are vitally interested in music but either do not wish to make music their career or have majors that preclude taking music as a second major.
The Music Department offers private voice and instrument lessons for music majors, minors, and other interested members of the AV研究所 community, as well as 30 ensembles and student groups.
