The University offers 50 undergraduate majors and 11 graduate programs. Flexible adult and graduate programs allow students to create an enriching educational experience that works with busy lives – on campus and online.

BANDSWhether you are a first year band student or been playing for years, we have a band for you! Placement in a band is normally based upon the grade just completed in school. Students who have recently changed instruments and all students with less than two years experience perform a brief audition at Monday afternoon’s registration to determine band placement. Master classes may include topics such as leadership, preparing for auditions, solo and ensemble playing, theory, and drum major instruction.

PIANO CAMPPiano camp is divided into two tracks: Track 1 (grades 5-8) and Track 2 (grades 9-12). In addition to receiving private lessons and performing in master classes, students in both tracks will receive instruction in technique, theory, literature, and musicianship. Students will also have the opportunity to collaborate with others through singing in a mixed chorus and playing in a piano ensemble or small chamber group. Piano campers should bring three pieces of standard repertoire (no pop arrangements, please), two of which should be performance-ready. The complete package price is $460 (lessons included).

Singing incorporates many varied skills, so you will receive instruction in diction, basic musicianship, dramatic interpretation, audition techniques, and stage movement. Every student will grasp the foundational concepts for singing.
