Department Overview
The Department of Music is a professional unit which regards music as both an art and a discipline. It recognizes the artistic values of creativity, experimentation, and music discrimination as well as the disciplinary attributes of scholarship, independent and critical thinking, self-motivation, skill development, and dedication. Musical performance is a vital component of all programs of study. Individualized instruction allows for a nurturing environment reflecting high regard for the musical legacies of the past as well as preparedness for the future. Graduates in music at Augusta University have gone on to careers as professional performers, public school music teachers, band directors, choral directors, and church musicians. Augusta University graduates have been accepted for graduate study at some of the most prestigious music schools in the country, including Indiana University, the University of North Texas, and the New England Conservatory.
The music unit provides intensive musical training on the collegiate level for musicians preparing for professions in music education, music performance, music history, conducting, music industry studies, and general studies in music, while serving non-music majors and music minors with a variety of offerings. Public school teachers are served through the offering of courses which satisfy the requirements for Staff Development Units. Persons of all ages in the community are encouraged to participate in musical activities through the Conservatory Program at Augusta University.
