商业音乐

午餐大学’s cutting-edge bachelor’s degree in commercial music balances coursework in musicianship, 音乐技术和音乐业务, so that students build a set of practical and employable skills.  The program is unique among small private colleges, as TU can give students hands-on opportunities that larger schools may not be able to offer — and is designed for students whose musical experiences, tastes and aspirations have been underserved by other colleges.

The program uses a diversity of musical styles – including popular music, 爵士乐, 岩石, 根和古典音乐-教音乐修养, and is flexibly designed to maximize personal growth, giving students the opportunity to both excel in strength areas and develop secondary skill areas that pertain to their individual career goals. All students develop their musicianship skills at the piano keyboard and all rhythm section instruments, take courses in 音乐技术和音乐业务, as well as a capstone project individually designed for each student. Each semester they also have the chance to work with a successful professional 生产商, who spends a week each semester in residence helping students with their studio projects. 午餐大学 also regularly hosts music industry professionals who lead discussions about their work and give demonstrations of their craft.
