Music Department
Recognizing the significant contribution of the arts and music in particular to society, Xavier University considers music an integral part of one's liberal arts education. Music is both an art and a science encompassing the theoretical concepts of sound, historical perspective, aesthetics and the performance of music. It develops in the student an understanding and appreciation of the creative process.
1 History of Rock
Music historian Dr.Morten Kristiansen teaches you everything you wanted to know about the history of rock'n roll. Classes listen to, discuss and write about America's passion with Rock.
2 Pep Band
Xavier spirit? Right here! The Pep Band plays for all men's and women' home basketball games - and affords its members someof the best seats in the house. The band also travels annually with the teams to the A-10 tournament. Contact the director, Mr. Matthew Westegate, about an audition. Go Muskies!
