BA in Music at Salisbury University
The Music Department’s Bachelor of Arts Program, recently accredited with the National Association of Schools of Music, presents the study of music as an integral part of a liberal arts education. Working closely with other departments in the University’s nationally acclaimed Fulton School of Liberal Arts, the Music Department provides a wealth of musical opportunities for students of any major.
Along with our special commitment to interdisciplinary studies, we strive to broaden musical offerings to include opportunities to study and perform music, not only within the European Classical tradition, but also distinctively in American genres such as Jazz, rock and pop, as well as “World Music” and international folk styles.
The diversity of our course offerings is reflected in a wide range of performance opportunities open to all students regardless of competence. Membership in an ensemble is determined by audition, and ensemble scholarships are available. Ensembles regularly maintained include the Salisbury Symphony Orchestra, Concert Band, University Chorale, Chamber Choir, Jazz Ensemble, Musical Theatre, or the community’s Salisbury Chorale.
In addition to a core of full-time faculty, the Department maintains an extensive affiliate staff of teacher/performers who provide beginning-to-advanced instruction in voice and every instrument. Scholarships are available
