As music educators devoted to their craft, the main focus of our faculty members is developing our students' musical abilities to the highest level, and preparing them for versatile, fulfilling careers in the 21st century.

Throughout their time in the Department of Music, our students find their artistic identities and develop into professional performers, scholars, educators, conductors, and composers. Our faculty members encourage students to perform in featured roles, host premieres, and take on lead management in their musical endeavors and their future careers.
