This approach results in the cultivation of our student?s love for and life-long commitment to music.

Our faculty provides critiques in?classes, lectures, and immersive workshops. Students can also supplement classroom learning with private lessons and performing group experience.

Through the program, you will collaborate with peers across disciplines and through internship opportunities. The training received in the Music Department allows you to become cultured leaders on the forefront of music, music education and other related fields.

The department provides private lesson instruction for all interested students and University members in most areas of music performance. Instruction carries an extra charge beyond tuition and includes 10 private lessons per semester. Students may enroll for 45-minute lessons and earn 1 credit or one-hour lessons and earn 2 credits. Lesson times are arranged individually with the instructor.

These credits do not count towards the 38 three-credit courses required for graduation. Students interested in registering for lessons must do so before the end of the Add/Drop period as identified on the University Academic Calendar. More information and registration forms are available from the Department Coordinator in Canisius Hall, Room 3.
