Imagine participating by invitation in the International Wind Music Festival in Hawaii; spending a week in New York City performing in its beautiful cathedrals and at Weill Auditorium, Carnegie Hall; performing a solo with the UE Symphony Orchestra as winner of a concerto competition; singing a lead role in an opera production; or studying for a semester in the English countryside at our Harlaxton campus. All these opportunities are open to you as a University of Evansville music student.

More than 90 concerts and recitals were given last year. These included faculty recitals which showcased the talent of our performing faculty, our faculty woodwind and brass quintets, our resident string quartet and guest artists. Students performed as members of three different choirs, two different bands, orchestra, two jazz bands and a variety of chamber ensembles. In all degree programs, emphasis is placed on your academic and musical development and on your career preparation and placement.

The areas of study in the University of Evansville's Department of Music include music education, music therapy, music management, music performance in all instruments and general studies in music. Programs culminating in a certificate in Suzuki Violin Pedagogy and Sacred Music are open to qualified students on any degree program. Practical experience is built into the curriculum of all degree programs.

With approximately 120 music students, you can count on a low faculty-student ratio. Faculty advisors assist you in academic planning, offer advice in career choices and offer ongoing support and guidance your artistic and scholarly activities. Music scholarships are available to outstanding students who apply and audition for the Department of Music. In addition, most students also qualify for other forms of financial aid.

If you seek intense professional training and a rewarding career in music, the University of Evansville is the right place for you. I hope you will attend an upcoming Open House, schedule a visit campus or department audition because I know you will learn firsthand how valuable a University of Evansville music degree can be.
