engaging in community outreach, and working with other faculty to shape 
a growing BA program in music, with strong interdisciplinary components, 
within a liberal arts environment.  Teaching load is generally five 
courses per year, at all levels of the undergraduate program, with a 
one-course reduction in first, third, and fifth years.  Faculty at

achievement in music composition, and teaching experience at a 
university or college beyond the required minimum of 2 years.  The 
ability to teach a diverse range of music courses in a Bachelor of Arts 
context is also a plus.  Demonstrated organizational ability and 
interest in community outreach will also be viewed as positive factors.
