Honors Requirements
The departmental honors program encourages the attainment of excellence in the major. Please consult the department’s “Handbook for Music Majors, Music Minors, Applied Music Students and Award Recipients” for specific details and expectations regarding each of the above requirements. The Handbook can be found at http://www3.davidson.edu/cms/x30467.xml. Rationale for Course Numbering
All courses numbered below 100 do not carry academic credit.
100-level courses are broad, introductory surveys that have no prerequisites nor require any previous musical training. One course, MUS 110: Exploring Music, serves as a prerequisite for a number of advanced courses in the department.
200-level courses are typically less broad in scope, focus on a particular style, genre, or musical culture, and, in a few cases, may require a prerequisite or previous musical training.
300-level courses are advanced courses, typically designed for music majors and requiring one or more prerequisite courses.
400-level courses are seminars for upper class majors. Vocal and Instrumental Study
Vocal and instrumental studies are offered as follows: Bassoon - Joshua Hood Banjo, Mandolin and Fiddle-Jon Singleton Cello-Alan Black Clarinet-Wendy Hartzheim Harrison Contrabass-Jeff Ferdon Flute-Amy Orsinger Whitehead Guitar:Classical-David Olson Harpsichord-Neil Lerner Horn-Frank Portone Oboe-Janet Carpenter Organ-Michael Rowland Percussion-Adam Snow Percussion:Non-Western-Adam Snow Piano-Ruskin Cooper, Cynthia Lawing Saxophone-Patrick Brown Trumpet-William Lawing Trombone and Baritone-Tom Burge Viola-Piotr Swic Violin-Martha Koljonen Voice-Jacquelyn Culpepper, Diane Thornton |
