The Music Program: Music Theory & History

For those who simply enjoy music and would like to know more about, Survey of Music History, Fundamentals of Music Theory, and World Music, assume no prior musical instructor and can be taken by anyone.

Those who are interested in music as a potential career or field of baccalaureate study will be happy to learn that all music credits taken at Columbus State transfer to most four-year institutions.  Columbus State also offers a three-quarter sequence in Music Theory equivalent to that taken by music majors at four-year institutions.  We also offer a similar sequence in Music History.

As a special field of interest, Introduction to Electronic Music deals with the creation of synthesized sound from the earliest experiments of the 20th century to current Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) applications.  This course will soon be expanded to include a new Electronic Music Workshop, featuring a hands-on environment in the computer music lab and practice in the manipulation of musical sound.
