The mission of the Department of Music is to provide a comprehensive, challenging, and rigorous music education for all students.  It is our goal to offer a broad and expansive array of courses designed to meet the needs of the entire student body, ranging from those wishing to pursue a career in music to those who study music solely for its intrinsic aesthetic value.  Large ensembles, small and chamber ensembles, keyboarding, general music studies, and music theory are all offered as a part of the Department’s thorough curriculum.  The Department strives to promote the overall academic and civic roles of the students of Parish Hill through the study and performance of music.  It is our hope that the regular performance and study of music will effectively serve the students and faculty, as well as the entire community.
