Music
Department of Music
Welcome to the Music Department, where students can earn a BA in Music or a BA in Music with certification in Education K-12. We also offer a Music Minor and Music Industry Minor.
All music majors study privately with our outstanding faculty, all of whom are active performers in their fields and have earned Masters or Doctorates from leading institutions. Repertoire for individuals and ensembles is selected specifically to showcase the abilities of current students and performance opportunities abound, both on and off campus!
All music majors also participate in one or more of our major ensembles or chamber groups. Our major ensembles include Marching Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Chorale and Opera/Music Theatre Workshop. Chamber ensembles include Brass, Flute, Percussion, Reed and String Ensembles. Our ensembles are open to all students and scholarships are available to support private study for both majors and non-majors.
Our curriculum follows NASM standards and our classes are small so that students receive ample individual attention and support. Many of our graduates go on to teach or pursue graduate studies in Music Therapy. Join us to further your musical growth and explore your potential as a musician!
