Music

Realize. Your musical aspirations.

Whether you are an instrumentalist or a vocalist, your musical expression will find free reign in one of our Music programs. Our Music department has a small student/teacher ratio, giving you more access to your professors and instructors.

If you are interested in performing, we offer several distinguished ensembles such as concert choir, concert band, chamber choir, wind ensemble, University Orchestra, New Music Ensemble, and Jazz Band. Chamber choir, wind ensemble, the University Orchestra, the New Music Ensemble and Jazz Band are auditioned groups. There is no audition required for concert choir or concert band.

If you become a music educator, you can pursue your passion in the classroom. Qualify to teach in just four years in our direct-entry Music Education program, offered in collaboration with the Faculty of Education. You can choose to complete the requirements of a second Bachelor's Degree online, in the evenings, or during the summer while you're beginning your teaching career.
