Music Department
The College of Southern Idaho Music Department offers a general Associate of Arts Degree in Music as well as coursework in Music Appreciation, Music Theory, Jazz and Aural Skills, along with instruction in a wide variety of musical instruments. The Fine Arts Center, completed in 2007, is considered the cultural hub for Twin Falls and the Magic Valley for more than 30 years. It was the first building completed for the campus in 1968. The members of the Music Department faculty are dedicated to helping students prepare for careers in performing, teaching, and other music-related areas. While the members of the CSI Music faculty are active performers, their first priority is teaching. This means that their students come first. The emphasis is not on making students "sink or swim," but rather to do their best to see that every student enjoys success in his or her endeavors.
2008 Hollywood Music Award and LA Music Award nominated pop singer, songwriter and model Chris Eberlein, whose first album The Way of the Door was released in 2008 and produced a mainstream dance hit "Love is a Game", briefly attended the school and was a member of the Music Department.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or department:
“As if, as if, as if the disparate halves
Of things were waiting in a betrothal known
To none, awaiting espousal to the sound
Of right joining, a music of ideas, the burning
And breeding and bearing birth of harmony,
The final relation, the marriage of the rest.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
