Students may participate in one of the many performance ensembles on campus. Students may also pursue instrumental lessons through the College House Music Program, which matches interested students with Philadelphia area instructors, many of whom are Fellows in the College Houses. A special program of instruction in vocal and instrumental performance, made possible through an endowment by Marian Anderson, is also available for music majors and minors.

For students interested in pursuing an academic course of study, we offer a range of options. The curriculum includes a number of introductory-level courses on topics, from world music to musicianship, all of which fulfill requirements for the general education curriculum. We also regularly offer Freshman Seminars and classes that contribute to the Writing Program at Penn.
