 The
new degree is the latest major added to Lincoln College’s growing
list of programs available for bachelor degree students.
“This degree is particularly exciting because the program allows
students to choose from two paths: Music Performance and Production
and Music Business and Production. The Bachelor of Arts in Music
degree is practical, modern, and designed to transition students
directly into careers,” said Lincoln College President David
Gerlach.
Lincoln College determined that a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree
would be a good fit for Lincoln College and set about designing
curriculum that will focus on modern production technology and
business, along with traditional performance opportunities.
Students in the Bachelor of Music program will have hands-on
learning opportunities with nationally recognized music industry
professionals hosted in the Johnston Center for Performing Arts
building on campus.
The Music Business and Production path offers students an
interdisciplinary array of courses in music production and
publishing, audiovisual editing and finishing, recording arts
history, and the overarching business fundamentals that govern the
music industry. Successful graduates will enter the workforce with
practical musical knowledge, production skills, and business acumen.

The Music Performance and Production path combines foundational
music training with an emphasis on music performance as an integrative process
that includes theater, audiovisual storytelling, recording arts production, and
film media. Students will participate in all stages of the conceptualization,
production, and performance of original music. Coursework encompasses
songwriting, visual and audio production, and the presentation of live events on
campus and in the community.
The curriculum will include practical skills that will prepare students for
careers in the multi-faceted and fast-paced music and performing arts
industries,” said Lead Faculty for Music Denise La Grassa. “Musical knowledge
and performance skills will prepare students for careers as performers, music
and fine arts administrators, community teaching instructors, an advanced degree
in music performance or education, or a career in the recording arts, among
other potential professional paths” La Grassa added.
Prospective students interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Music are
