Courses are offered to those who wish to specialize in music as a part of a liberal education; or to those who wish to become proficient in any kind of music, such as a pianist, singer, or organist. Recitals and concerts will be given through the year by students to develop their poise and efficiency in performance. The. music faculty will also assist in artistic performances. Recitals are held in the college chapel using the Steinway grand piano. Organ recitals can be gi,yen in the various churches.
