Bridgewater State University Music Department

Bridgewater State University Music Department The curriculum includes the essentials of music history, theory and performance.

From Renaissance madrigals to stadium-filling pop, music is a unique form of communication that comes from the heart and taps into the very roots of our humanity. The Department of Music at Bridgewater State University provides a solid foundation in the theory and practice of classical music traditions – along with courses in jazz, other popular genres and West African drumming – all in the contex

t of a liberal arts education relevant to a wide variety of careers. Students have the opportunity to study under accomplished professionals who perform regularly with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops, Fenway Brass Quartet and other world-class ensembles. In addition to the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree, the department offers concentrations in Music Education, Jazz Studies and Classical Performance, a Master of Arts in Teaching (Music), a music minor and courses that satisfy the university’s core curriculum requirements. Instrumental and vocal ensembles – as well as private instruction in piano, guitar, voice, and orchestral and band instruments – are open to all students, offering a unique opportunity to flex your creativity on campus while developing critical leadership and teamwork skills.

Congratulations to Prof. Biz and the Opera Ensemble for a beautiful concert! The ensemble's hard work and dedication were evident throughout the performance. It was especially wonderful to see a handful of alumni return to BSU to support the ensemble. Things are winding down here on campus, and this was a truly special way to help close out the semester.

Last night, the BSU Chamber Singers, under the direction of Dr. Bradford Dumont, collaborated with our very own (amazingly talented and kind) Dr. Jerome Mouffe for a performance of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Romancero Gitano. This concert was funded in part by a university faculty development grant; we are incredibly grateful to the administration for their continued support of the arts. A beautiful performance- congratulations to all!
