Welcome
Greetings from the Deparment Head
Welcome to the USU Music Department!
We are excited to welcome our new freshmen, transfer, and graduate students to the department, and to welcome back our continuing and returning students. Our faculty of highly-qualified musicians, educators, and therapists are committed to providing the very best educational and creative experiences for our students, including working with the many guest artists who will be visiting our campus this year.
In addition to providing exciting performance opportunities for our music majors, the USU Music Department also provides many opportunities for non-majors and community members to participate in music making (choirs, bands, orchestra, individual instruction, etc.) and to learn more about music in courses like Global Perspectives in Music, History of African-American Music, Fundamentals of Music, Intro to Music, Masterpieces of Music, History of Jazz, Rock and Roll: Catalyst for Social Change.
If you just want to sit back and relax and enjoy the music, that is okay too. The Music Department offers over 100 concerts, shows, recitals, and guest artist events each academic year. Look for our events in the USU Music Department Events Calendar.
Welcome!
