The History of Rock and Roll
This has become one of the more popular May term offerings on campus.  It culminates with a trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

Exploring Choral Music
Anyone who is interested in singing in an informal choral setting in May Term would enjoy this class which is open to music majors as well as non-majors.  The class performs choral music including vocal chamber music, Barbershop/Sweet Adelines, vocal jazz and popular music (show choir).   At the end of the term will be a showcase presentation of the class's work.   Specific repertoire performed will be determined by enrollment.
