About the program
With strong vocal and piano programs and a growing emphasis on instrumental performance, the BHSU Music program provides the diversity a student wants but the individual attention a student needs. Music students will take such courses as music history, music theory, while taking private lessons. Music education majors take the extra course work to be able to teach in the K-12 environment.
Music majors can become professional musicians or work in music related fields, but many choose a teaching career or graduate school to further their talent.
