Welcome to the cyberspace snapshot of the School of Music! Our mission statement is clear, to develop the whole musician - artistically, intellectually, and technically through the integration of theory and practice. To that end, our faculty is dedicated to ensuring that our students emerge with requisite knowledge, skills and values. Year after year, our graduates are living proof of this collaborative effort as they work in our communities as respected educators, performing musicians, businesspersons, and also grace programs at some of the country’s most prestigious graduate schools.
