School of Music

The School of Music is a community of performers, and you’ll find the spotlight in our two dozen ensembles, with stellar faculty members, or in the community as a student teacher. Our spectacular facility includes some 90 practice rooms, three performance spaces, and numerous specialized music rooms, and our outstanding performers-teachers guide your musicianship with their apt experience. You’ll join the ranks of our accomplished alumni -- thoroughly prepared for performing, teaching, and behind-the-scenes positions in the world of music.
