The Music Department curriculum
at Austin College is designed to provide cogent experiences with serious music
for the general student as well as the music major. Austin College offers a Bachelor
of Arts intended primarily to prepare students for graduate work, although it
may serve for various immediate occupations in music. Individual instruction in
keyboard instruments, voice, strings, woodwinds, and brasses is provided for all
music majors and minors and is available to other students when faculty are available.
Performance opportunities include the Sherman Symphony Orchestra (Daniel Dominick
903-813-2461), Austin College A Cappella Choir (Wayne Crannell 903-813-2252),
Consort, and Chorale (Wayne Crannell), The Greater Texoma Jazz Band (Ricky Duhaime

and String Chamger Ensemble (Ricky Duhaime 903-813-2462). These various performing
