The Department of Music is an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM).

The Department of Music strives to serve the global community and the world of music by offering a rigorous music program of the highest quality within the context of a liberal arts education.

a. to enhance the general education program and student life by providing opportunities for all Southwestern University students to investigate music of various cultures through performance as well as through theoretical and historical studies;

b. to provide a Bachelor of Arts program with a balanced music curriculum for students with strong interests in music who wish to pursue a broad liberal arts education;

c. to provide a Bachelor of Music program which prepares students for the strongest graduate programs, which develops performance skills through rigorous preparation of high-quality solo, chamber, and large ensemble literature, and which prepares music education students to teach in elementary and secondary schools;

d. to recruit and maintain a well-balanced body of committed music majors who will set exemplary standards for other students in performance, practice habits, and scholarship;

e. with the understanding that our primary goal is to educate, not to entertain, the Department of Music continues to be committed to provide services to the University through participation in ceremonial events, services of worship and events for the Office of Institutional Advancement, both on and off campus; and

f. to maintain a music faculty whose musical influence reaches beyond Southwestern University.

All students pursuing a degree with a major in Music (Bachelor of Arts with a major in Music or Bachelor of Music) will perform in front of the music faculty at the conclusion of their second full year of study (or after a maximum of two semesters of residence for transfer students). The content of this performance will be determined by the Department of Music. The quality of the student’s performance at this time will be used by the faculty to assist in evaluating whether the student should be permitted to continue in his or her chosen music degree program.

All students pursuing a degree with a major in music must enroll in Piano each semester until the proficiency exam is passed. A secondary instrument should be substituted for students whose principal instrument is piano.

An additional semester fee for instruction in Applied Music is assessed as follows: either $150 for one credit hour (-001), or $300 for two or more credit hours (-002, -003, -004). See the numbering system below.

The numbering system in Applied Music is as follows:

1. All Applied Music courses are prefixed by "APM8".

2. The letter following the "8" indicates the instrument being studied.

3. The next two digits are zeroes.

Example: 8F-002 indicates applied music, oboe, two semester hours of academic credit. A two-digit suffix (01, 02, etc.) may be added to indicate multiple sections/teachers for the same instrument.
