Theory courses allow the student to work with musical material, to understand modes of organization in composition, and to employ methods of musical analysis. History courses introduce students to methods of<br> studying the development of musical styles and genres, and the relationship of music to the other arts and areas of thought. The music program<br> encourages students to develop performing skills through private study and through participation in the College Choir and early music ensemble.<br> Practice rooms are available for students to use for rehearsal. Recognizing the need for a critical listening audience, the program offers a variety of courses for the general student body that assume no previous musical background and that are designed to enhance an understanding of the<br> continuing tradition of the world's music. </b></p> <p><b>Students with specific professional goals (performance, composition, or musicology) should be advised of the curriculum requirements found under<br> Course Requirements </b></p> <p><b>Blessed with superb facilities the music program also is host to the acclaimed Mozart Orchestra of Philadelphia, the only Department of Fine Arts in this country to have a resident professional orchestra. Students in the program have the opportunity to study with artist-faculty of the first rank and also take advantage of the splendid cultural and artistic activities in the Philadelphia area. The Music Program also presents many concerts and recitals on campus. Recitals take place in the Mallery Music Room which houses a Moller Pipe Organ, a beautiful Bösendorfer concert grand piano, a Heartz harpsichord, and a Wolf forte-piano. Larger concerts with orchestra and soloists are held in the spectacular Fine Arts Theatre, renowned for its near-perfect acoustics. </b></p> <p align="center"> <a href="#top"><b>[Top of Page]</b></a></p> <p></p> <h2><br> <b>Department of Fine Arts</b></h2> <p><b> <a href="mailto:tarbell@camden.rutgers.edu">Professor Roberta K.
