Music 2A, 6A, and 16A must be taken concurrently for a total of 7
units. This set of courses comprises first-year theory
requirements for music majors and begins once a year, in the
fall quarter.
One of the most important priorities of the music department
today is establishing a fund to cover the otherwise out-of-pocket
expenses for individual music lesson instruction for UC Davis
students. These students gain necessary one-on-one instruction
from a career professional in their field and use those skills in
individual and group performances—including the UC Davis Symphony
Orchestra, Choruses, Percussion Ensemble, Baroque, Early Music,
and more. We seek everyone’s support in this endeavor.
One of UC Davis’s highest priorities is the safety of its
students and all members of its community. UC Davis
prohibits all forms of sexual harassment and sexual violence,
including sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and
stalking. Such conduct violates University policy and may
violate California law.
UC Davis alumnus Cesar Favila (B.A. music, ‘06)—now assistant
professor of musicology at UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music—has
been given the Susan McClary and Robert Walser Fellowship in
Music Studies from the American Council of Learned Societies
(ACLS).
Professor of Music, emeritus, Christopher Reynolds has been
elected a member of the
Musicology and Art History section of the Academia
Europaea (Academy of Europe). The purpose of the
Academy of Europe—an academy of sciences and humanities—is for
the advancement and propagation of excellence in
scholarship ”for the public benefit and for the advancement
of the education of the public of all ages in the aforesaid
subjects in Europe.”
The fellowship will support Díaz’s research of four
communities in Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria, which were formed
by the descendants of emancipated Africans who resettled from
Brazil to West Africa during the 19th century.
The annual “Arts & Humanities Graduate Exhibition” features 27
students from eight majors in the UC Davis College of Letters and
Science. Students Kelley O’Leary, art studio, Joseph Vasinda,
music composition, and Iris Xie, design, discuss their work.
