Department of Fine Arts
The Minor
- The Fine Arts Department also offers three options for a minor in Music:
- Minor in Classical Performance
- Minor in Jazz/Popular Performance
- Minor in Music History
The Performance Minors
The minors in both classical and jazz performance enable talented
music students at Fairfield University to engage themselves in a
serious performance minor that will be a challenging addition to
their liberal arts education. For students who do not wish to
major in music, but still want to continue less than casual study
of the discipline, this program will insure that they can
continue to develop their skills in a concentrated program.
Lesson scholarships may be available for those participating in
Chamber Singers, Jazz Ensemble, and Orchestra. Scholarship
decisions are based upon demonstrated ability, serious interest,
and need.
