Active Learning Opportunites
- Internships
Complementing the academic program with "real-world" knowledge and experience,
internships add value to résumés and enhance graduate school applications
can be tailored to match career interests. For example, a music major
recently interned within the marketing department of Folkways Recordings,
the Smithsonian Institution record label.
- Study abroad
Each summer, faculty members lead study abroad courses. The music department
regularly offers a summer course in Scotland: Music in Performance in
Scotland and at the Edinburgh Festival.
- Performances in individual recitals and with departmental
ensembles
Our students have many opportunities to perform with other students,
faculty, and other musicians in the Thursday Noon Student Recital Series,
concerts in the Charleston community, touring programs in the U.S. and
abroad, and the Piccolo Spoleto Festival Young Artist Series, to name
just a few.
- Concerts and master classes with some of today's finest performers
Recent guest artists have included Abbey Simon, Earl Wild, D'Anna Fortunato,
John Wustman, Roland and Almita Vamos, and Suren Bragratuni.
