Description: | The Department of Music was founded in 1974 to train music teachers for Ghana's Secondary Schools. In recent years, the scope of the Department has been expanded to include the preparation of students for the music industry, the entertainment and hospitality industry focusing in an in-depth study of African Music. The mission of the Department of Music is to create an environment that will enhance the preparation of creative and innovative musicians who are well grounded in African musical traditions as well as music from other cultures particularly music from the Western world. The Department aims at equipping her products with the knowledge and skills that would enable them face the musical challenges of contemporary Ghana. In Ghana today, there are four main musical trends, viz. religious music, popular music, art music and traditional African music. Though the Department provides opportunities for the training of students in these areas, her focus of attention is on the provision of skills and knowledge in African music. |
