Overview

Whether intending a career in music performance, music education, or another musically oriented business, the Music Performance has a degree plan for you. If you are simply interested in improving your musical knowledge and skills, our department offers a breadth of academic and performance opportunities for you. All students learn from faculty who are active artists and leaders: composers and musicians who have performed, directed, taught, and recorded nationally and internationally.

The Department of Music at Meredith College embraces the ever-changing nature of the world of music, and respects and celebrates the historic role of music as one of humanity’s most powerful forces for good. We provide skills, training and experiences that educate musicians who are inspired by the global nature of music, and who utilize that inspiration and their musical skills to contribute to the communities in which they live. They will do so as consummate professionals in the studio or classroom, as directors and conductors of ensembles, as performers, as composers, as practitioners in music related fields, or as enthusiastic supporters of music.
