Both speculative and vibrantly current, music has been a part of a liberal arts education since the earliest of times. Hamline's music department addresses a broad canvas of study incorpo-rating performance and critical analysis, emphasizing both pragmatic skills and aesthetic purpose. The department has been an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) since 1961. All music courses, lessons, and ensembles are open to nonmajors. The ensembles include the A Cappella Choir, Chamber Ensembles, Jazz Band, Jazz Combos, Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, and Women's Chorale. Sundin Music Hall, with its warm ambience and recording-quality acoustics, is used for recitals, juries, and concerts. The Hall has digital recording equipment, a Hamburg Steinway, and a nine-foot Yamaha concert grand.
Building global connections, recent students have come from as far away as Russia, China, Indonesia, Korea, Germany, Ukraine, Holland, Venezuela, and Columbia. International study is encouraged. Various study abroad opportunities are offered by the semester, during January, and the summer. Hamline International Piano Institute brings advanced pianists for intensive study and collaborations with undergraduates at Hamline, and offers masterclasses with visiting artists. Hamline is the home of the International Piano-e-competition which invites young musicians from all over the world to hone their performance skills.
