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.
