Our mission is to prepare students effectively for professional careers in theatre, dance, motion pictures, or television and playwriting, as well as for graduate and professional schools through considerable hands-on and curricular training.

It is the aim of the School of Music to function effectively within the university and to maintain the Christian character of the university in the life and work of its staff members and students.

As the only full-fledged school in the arts, the School of Music further aims to:
cultivate performing and creative arts and musicology of the highest standard;
accordingly provide instruction in these disciplines;
undertake musicological research of the highest standard;
promote the arts in general on campus;
make a constructive contribution to music in the community.

There has been a steady increase in enrollment the past 5 years. Currently about 80 undergraduate and 20 graduate students are enrolled for music study. With a teaching staff of 18, this results in a favourable student-lecturer ratio of 5,5:1.

Music instruction is given in piano, organ, vocal studies, strings and woodwind instruments. The study of a second instrument is not compulsory, but students can receive instruction in an extra instrument by enrolling as a Conservatory student.

Most graduates enter the music industry and many enjoy careers rising to senior and influential positions in the industry, both in the UK and abroad. Graduates have found work as Guitar Makers, Piano Technicians and Piano Tuners.
