NOTE; Weiss will be closed to Teagle seminar participants in summer 2021 

Weiss is known often for its frequent number of concerts in Rubendall Recital Hall, a setting that is unmatched for the performing arts at Dickinson. The opportunities at Weiss offer students much more, however, than through performances. Weiss’s four stories allow for students to pursue their artistic freedom through music or studio art.

Weiss offers classes and lessons not only to those primarily studying music, but also to those who want to learn to play an instrument for the first time, those who can play an instrument but want to learn theory, or maybe just want to learn music history. Hardly any professor is more enthusiastic about music than Professor Wlodarski. Lessons are well worth the cost in my experience and those of others as well, but the music department offers various scholarships for students. In addition, students in ensemble may qualify for free lessons like I have as a member of the Jazz Ensemble

The Trout Gallery in Weiss displays at least one different art exhibition every semester that are always thoughtful. Tours are offered for free, and even available in a foreign language at times. Art history and art classes are available to all students as well, with spacious studios open from very early to late hours.
