Department of Music
Coe College is known for a strong Department of Music, with a long history of excellence. Approximately one out of every four students participates in music each year. Marc Falk is chair of the Department of Music, which has been accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) since 1962. Performing ensembles include a concert band, concert choir, a chamber choir (known as Crimson & Gold) women's chorale, symphony orchestra, and jazz band. There also is a student-led drumline that operates independently of the music department. The department sponsors chapters of two musically oriented fraternities, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and Mu Phi Epsilon.
