? What are the music majors in Yale University?

Woodwind and brass courses provide students with extensive solo and ensemble training, as well as off-campus teaching and other performance opportunities. In weekly professional classes and seminars, teachers encourage students to explore music as widely as possible, from baroque music to modern music.
Creative music
In recent years, students and alumni of Yale University's Music Department have won numerous well-known awards in the music industry, and because of the excellent teachers and unlimited performance opportunities of the Music Department, they attract outstanding students from all over the world. Yale graduates are members of local orchestras, music festivals and other organizations. The courses of the Composition Department provide students with various styles of subjects, such as electronic music, recording technology, tonal music, atonal music analysis and so on.
order
The professional direction of conducting course is divided into band conductor and chorus conductor. The orchestral conductor course provides intensive training for a group of talented young conductors. During the two-year course, students train with the music director of the Philharmonic Orchestra and have the opportunity to conduct the Philharmonic Orchestra and other orchestras in rehearsals and performances. Although the courses conducted by the orchestra are mainly orchestral music, they also emphasize students' basic skills, and the courses of reading skills and analysis of music scores are necessary. In addition, we strongly encourage students to take advantage of various courses in the Conservatory of Music, the Music Department and other departments of the university.
For chorus conductor students, apart from the professional courses taught by chorus conductor professors, they also need to attend the Yale Camerata seminar once a week. Chorus conductor students need to minor in vocal music for two semesters, and students who pass the sacred music college have other requirements. All students can take advantage of university courses, especially music courses.
4. Guitar
Guitar courses provide extensive guidance, professional guidance courses for guitarists, and weekly seminars, and cooperate with guest artists to play solo and ensemble tracks. Weekly seminars include newly learned solo and chamber music performances, as well as lectures in various styles, including interpretation, arrangement, skills, teaching, competitions and recording. In the course, students should write an etude and an arrangement every year, and give lectures by themselves.
5. Piano
Although the piano course of Yale Conservatory of Music is mainly solo, it also emphasizes chamber music, accompaniment and teaching. Comprehensive courses prepare graduates for success in today's highly competitive music world. The uniqueness of Yale Piano Department lies in the close cooperation between piano teachers. Students have regular opportunities to attend master classes and get supplementary courses and chamber music guidance from teachers other than the main studio teachers. In addition, many internationally renowned guest artists visited the school and held recitals, lectures and master classes as part of Holovitz's piano series.
6. Vocal music
The vocal music major of Yale Conservatory of Music has two major directions: opera and early music. Because these two directions emphasize the repertoire of oratorios and art songs, all vocal music students will have a recital every year.
7. String
String courses provide extensive solo and ensemble training, as well as off-campus teaching and other performance opportunities. In weekly professional classes and seminars, teachers encourage students to explore music as widely as possible, from baroque music to modern music.
8. Collision
Percussionists from Yale University Conservatory of Music study and play chamber music, solo and orchestral works in their unique courses. Students attend private classes and seminars every week and play in Yale Philharmonic Orchestra and Yale Percussion Orchestra. The school's New Music Concert Series in New Haven provides frequent opportunities to cooperate with composers in the premiere of new works, and cultivates students' long-term and sustainable musical relationship after studying at Yale University.
