OVERVIEW
The Lionel Hampton School of Music, so designated in 1987 in honor of
the eminent American jazz musician, is an accredited institutional
member of the National Association of Schools of Music. Established as a
department in 1893, it was elevated to school status in 1969.
The courses and curricula in music seek to prepare elementary,
secondary, and college teachers of music; to train professional
musicians; to enrich the cultural environment for students and provide
liberal-arts instruction; and to engage in research in music performance
and teaching for the general benefit of the public and the discipline of
music.
Students in this school learn by performing, listening, analyzing, and
creating music. Emphasis is on the understanding of musical styles and
techniques of all eras, including contemporary music. Musical studies
balance the aesthetic and the practical, with ample opportunity for
exploration and self-reliance. |
