Whether you intend to major in music or simply want to keep music in your life at Wooster, the Department of Music has a place for you.
We offer:
- Private lessons in voice, instrument, or composition
- Ensembles ranging from large groups to chamber music and jazz
- Courses in music theory, musicology, and recording and production
- Career exploration with the Musical Theatre Pathway
- Performance opportunities throughout the year
These opportunities are open to all Wooster students. In fact, over 80% of our participants are non-majors.
For students seeking deeper study, we offer four degree programs:
- The B.A. in Music combines musical study with a broad liberal arts education.
- The B.M.E. prepares students to teach general, choral, and instrumental music in PK–12 schools, leading to Ohio’s Multi-Age License in Music.
- The B.M. in Composition prepares students for graduate study and professional work as a composer.
- The B.M. in Performance prepares students for graduate study and careers as performing artists.
You can find useful information about the Music Department in the Student Handbook, available in the sidebar. The links below it provide quick access to the handbook sections that students use most.
