Department of Music

What is the program like?

The world wouldn't be the same without music -- the soothing melodies of classical movements, the soulful lyrics of post-war blues, the exciting rhythms of modern rock 'n' roll.  And just like the composers, instrumentalists, and singers before you, you've got music within you that you want to share!  Lander University's Department of Music has a program that allows students to work closely with highly experienced faculty to develop their talents while preparing for future roles as high school band and choral directors, elementary music specialists, private tutors, church musicians, or professionals in the music industry.
