Overview

The Music Industry course from Lewis University students plan their own path toward a creative career by choosing from four concentrations: Popular Music Studies, Music Business, Popular Music Performance, and Music Production and Recording.

Alongside the comprehensive core curriculum in music, students are supported in working toward their career goals by experienced faculty and advanced technology in Lewis' music production and recording studios.

Key facts:

The Music Department offers a number of opportunities to Lewis students, regardless of major. As long as a student is under 18 credit hours, they can enroll in an applied instrument or voice lesson for credit at no additional charge.

Applied lessons for non-majors are one credit hour and result in a weekly 30 minute private, 1:1, lesson. Lesson days and times are TBD.

Beginners are welcome! Students do not need to know how to read music or have any musical background. Our instructors work with students from beginning to advanced college majors.

For some applied instruments, students do not need to have their own instrument. The Music Department is able to provide guitars, bass guitars, double basses, percussion instruments, and pianos to beginning students. For other instruments, the Music Department can help arrange rental instruments for the semester.

Applied lessons do not yet satisfy the Fine Arts general education requirement, but they do award elective credit toward the 128 credits required for graduation.

The Music Department also has a number of ensembles for college credit. Like applied lessons, as long as a student is under 18 credit hours, they can enroll in an ensemble for credit at no additional charge.
