Music

Collegium Singers
Wind Ensemble
 
Over the years Colby's music department has emerged as the logical choice for students interested in serious music study and performance within the context of a small-college liberal arts experience. Both majors and non-majors have the opportunity to study with nationally and internationally known faculty, to perform in top-notch ensembles, and to take lessons with applied music associates who are both excellent performers and committed teachers. We hope you will browse the site and that you will feel free to contact any of the faculty if you have further questions.
 
Special Courses
 

Jan Plan to India
sitar
Jan Plan in India (MU267) is a three-credit course that fulfills both the Arts and International Diversity requirements. The course challenges Colby students to deal directly with the complex socio-economic, cross-cultural issues raised both by the Ashram's unique approach to education and by the very presence of the Colby contingent at the Ashram and in the surrounding community. Participating students form teaching teams and are responsible for designing five hours of daily instruction for elementary and junior high school Gandhi Ashram students. Colby students may also be called upon to tutor high school and college prep Ashram students.
