All students will find the Music Department to be a varied and enriching program in performance and study. Exceptional opportunities for both solo and ensemble performance are available, and all students are eligible to audition for membership in the vocal and chamber music ensembles. Individual instruction in voice, instruments, and composition are offered at all levels of proficiency by an outstanding faculty.

The Whittier College Music Department offers preparation for a wide range of career opportunities, and students with serious aspirations in music are encouraged to consider a major. In addition to applied music, class instruction is offered in conducting, music history, theory, music business, and music technology. A digital piano and music technology lab as well as a state-of-the-art recording studio are available for student use; these facilities are integrated in several course offerings. Students may also develop areas of specialization or individual projects under faculty supervision in related fields such as msuic production, management, musicology, ethnomusicology, music theory, music industries, and musical theater.

Students interested in pursuing a music major or minor may take a music placement exam that is normally offered during Orientation Week. Students who are unable to pass this exam must enroll in MUS 070 - Introduction to Music Theory & Musicianship before taking other music courses in the curriculum. Please contact the Music Department for more information.
