The Department of Music seeks to provide all students opportunities for scholarly exploration of our musical heritage, development and discovery of musical skills and interests, and the opportunity to experience the communal activity of music-making. In so doing, the department strives to foster an appreciation and understanding of music in our students such that they become fully engaged, life-long participants and consumers of music. Students with musical experience prior to matriculation at St. Andrews may wish to pursue a minor in Music, providing them with further exposure to the theory, history and performance of music.
As a representative of the college to the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Music Department actively solicits opportunities for the students to provide musical leadership in churches throughout the region. In addition, the Music Department engages outside performers and master teachers to visit our campus under the auspices of the Morgan Enrichment Fund and the McCoy Concert Series.
