Music Major

PDF Printable Brochure

The music program at NSU offers an extremely low student-faculty ratio with professors who have a wide variety of backgrounds and academic/research expertise.

The music major includes a four-semester sequence of music theory supplemented by instruction in piano, sight-reading, and ear training. Musicological studies in the standard repertoire are supplemented with courses specific to the instrument or voice. Conducting reinforces the integration of the music core with performance and develops leadership abilities. Students will improve their performance skills in ensembles which perform regularly on campus and throughout South Florida. A music major prepares students for a wide variety of careers such as professional musician (soloist, chorus, or orchestra member), musical director, conductor, vocal conductor, and music teacher.

The music major is offered during the day and evening on NSU’s main campus.
