As a music major, you?ll learn about music, its history, its cultural impact and its performance practices. You?ll need to select a concentration in either Applied Studies, Music History & Literature, or Music Theory & Composition. You should also seriously consider adding an academic minor to define your career path in addition to a BA in Music.

Performance opportunities abound. We offer four choral ensembles, five bands, a full symphony orchestra, chamber music groups, a pit orchestra and more. Many of these groups travel nationally and internationally to places like New York City, China, Germany, Rome and New Zealand. In addition, you can?t beat our facilities. The Freed Center for the Performing Arts, our Wintzer Music Technology Lab, and our beautiful, inspiring Snyder Recital Hall in Presser Hall are all top-notch.

Let?s face it, music is a specialized field. It takes a special blend of talent and opportunity to carve out a career. At ONU, you bring the talent and we provide the opportunity. We?ll help you build a career doing what you love ? making music!
