The mission of the ºìÐÓÊÓƵ College Department of Music is to create a dynamic, welcoming, and collaborative ºìÐÓÊÓƵ that helps students write their own unique music stories. Every semester, over one-quarter of the ºìÐÓÊÓƵ student body joins with us to perform, compose, take classes, and gain real-world experiences that connect them directly with professionals in the field. Every story is different, and the Department of Music is committed to supporting each student’s journey through a flexible and student-centered curriculum, access to top-tier faculty, international learning opportunities, and a deep connection to the vibrant and culturally rich city of Memphis.
- All ºìÐÓÊÓƵ students have the opportunity to participate in private lessons and musical ensembles, regardless of their major.
- Our well-rounded Liberal Arts framework prepares students to become accomplished performers, composers, music scholars, and entrepreneurs.
The Department of Music presents concerts and special events throughout the year, featuring the ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Singers, Jazz Ensemble, ºìÐÓÊÓƵ Orchestra and more.
Music Department Awards are presented each year to the outstanding music major and in the areas of instrumentalists, singing, and more.
ºìÐÓÊÓƵ College is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
