Overview

Our unique curriculum integrates theory and practice, encouraging students to see the connections between their individual study, participation in ensembles, and course work. In its commitment to breadth, the Music Department provides many opportunities for study and performance abroad, hosts an annual international piano competition, and houses an active student chapter of the College Music Society. High Point students also interact with a wide range of guest artists, including prestigious scholars, professional health clinicians, and performers from the international concert, opera, music theater, jazz, and popular music stages.

Focused Curriculum

Throughout their time at High Point University, students work with internationally recognized performing artists, and may participate in a wide variety of ensembles. Our faculty regularly mentor unique and innovative student projects in both research and performance. After building a foundation in basic musical literacy, students complete a four-semester Musicianship curriculum that integrates music theory, history, literature and aural skills. These courses illustrate the development of music in an organic and holistic manner, and incorporate analytical and historical projects related to the students solo and ensemble repertoire. In their later study, students may explore a variety of topics in the discipline in order to tailor their education to their individual interests.
