Music

Make music.

At Bennington, music students integrate the study of theory, history, composition, improvisation and performance through hands-on music making. All music faculty are active professional musicians who, along with teaching at Bennington, also work as composers and performers. Courses are offered in composition, fundamentals, improvisation, theory, performance, instrumental and voice study, music history, sound design and recording, and music healing.

As a music student at Bennington, your academic knowledge and technical artistry develop as you explore your own music and hone your performance skills. Sound design/studio recording facilities and classes allow you to record and mix your own music. Ensemble work and collaborations add enriching and inspiring dimensions to your individualized plan of study.
