The Department of Music is committed to providing broad-based educational opportunities for NC State students through a variety of musical experiences and introductory and upper-level academic courses. Departmental faculty seek to assist students in developing musical insights, musical skills, and the capacity to perceive and respond to music in its historical and cultural contexts.

Opportunities for direct student application as performers include many choral and instrumental ensemble courses. Registration in any ensemble is open to students with a disciplined interest in music. Auditions are scheduled during summer orientation, at the beginning of each semester, and by appointment with the conductor of the group. For further information, please call (919) 515-2981 or visit the Department of Music website for audition information.

The department offers a variety of courses, most of which may be taken to fulfill specific general education programs. Any course may be taken as a free elective. Both a 15-hour minor in Arts Entrepreneurship and a 20-hour music minor is offered for qualified undergraduate students who wish to engage in more extensive study of music and the arts. Emphases include history, liberal arts, composition, and performance—piano, vocal, or instrumental.

The department also serves as a cultural resource for the university community and the public at large through concerts presented by ensembles, student-musicians, music faculty, and visiting artists. Concerts are open to students and the public.
