Drew’s music program nurtures and supports the development of a well-rounded and integrated understanding of music through experience in historical study and research, solo and ensemble performance, theoretical and style analysis, and original composition work. The foundation of our curriculum is built upon the classical Western European tradition with extensions provided into music of the world, jazz, popular, and new music practices. Focus your studies to integrate music history, composition/theory, or performance—and follow your passion to land in the recording industry, education, theater, film, television, and radio.
