Department of Music
We believe in the Department of Music that we have a unique role to play in Oklahoma music. Accordingly, the faculty have adopted the following:
- To educate students for lives of service and contribution as teachers, performers, composers and scholars;
- To provide and nurture a nucleus of musical life for the community;
- To educate the university student population regarding music's intrinsic value as a part of the human experience and its central role in human culture; and
- To mutually encourage one another in professional growth and attainment.
As an integral part of our mission, we commit ourselves to continuing steps toward realizing the full potential of community, both as teachers and as colleagues; further, we commit to interaction with our students that emphasizes personal attention and interest in their total musical/intellectual development.
Finally, we affirm the university's mission of seeking the highest professional standards in all aspects of our work.
