, TX,
As a student in the TCU School of Music, you’ll excel and grow as an artist in a program that is large enough to provide a wealth of musical opportunities, yet small enough to guarantee a personalized musical education. 

About

TCU’s NASM-accredited Music program prepares students to become future teachers, performers, scholars, conductors, and composers.

  • Become the best performer you can be; study under the guidance and encouragement of a world-class faculty; experience a wide range of musical styles by attending hundreds of concerts and master classes; deepen your understanding of all repertoires; and open your ears to new sounds and experiences.
  • Contribute to Fort Worth culture by performing in large ensemble, chamber recitals, and studio recitals, and at theaters, clubs, and churches throughout the Metroplex.
  • Travel and play music around the world in places such as New York’s Carnegie Hall, Switzerland’s Montreux Jazz Festival, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Italy, Austria, and Indonesia.
  • Experience truly world-class musical study and experiences in an environment small enough to ensure personal attention.
