Areas of Study
Study, interpret, and revel in the universal “language without words”
Trinity offers a B.M. in performance, composition, or music education. For academic study of music, or students who want to double major in another field of study, we offer the B.A. in music. The fifth-year Master of Arts in Teaching—recently ranked 7th in the nation—allows music education majors to receive both the B.M. and M.A.T. in five years.
