About the Department of Music
The Department of Music (NASM accredited since 1947) offers a comprehensive inventory of courses for those who wish to major or minor in music and for those who seek musical knowledge and experiences. Students may acquaint themselves with music as appreciative listeners, inquisitive scholars, or active performers. Music faculty are active in performance, composition and arrangement, and publication efforts.
A state-approved degree program is offered to prepare teachers of music for the elementary and secondary schools of Kansas. Other degree programs are designed to enable students to pursue advanced studies in music and/or find employment within the field of music.
The department provides a yearly schedule of concerts, recitals, master classes, and lectures which feature ESU music faculty and students as well as invited artist performers.
