Opportunities for the Non-Music Major 

Every student at Central Connecticut State University is invited to participate in the Department of Music ensembles. Some require an audition, but others do not (see below). We also offer several classes designed for the students of all majors who wish to gain a basic understanding of specific areas of music (see course listing below).
