Guilford College Department of Music

The Guilford College Music Department combines a strong liberal arts education with high standards for professional skills and musicality. Small classes and individualized instruction create a nurturing yet challenging environment conducive to active learning and group participation. Repertory classes, ensemble performances, recitals, opera scenes, master classes, and competitions prepare Guilford College Music majors for the application of their disciplines. Through music history courses, students are inspired and challenged to think about the role of music in the world. The department hosts concerts, weekly repertoire classes, monthly Midday Musicales, and junior and senior recitals. Private lessons, class piano, class voice, ensembles and general music classes are also open to the non-major. The Recording Track is also helping students find success. Students pursuing the Recording Track work with Guilford Technical Community College's renowned faculty and take classes in cutting-edge facilities, where they learn skills in recording, mixing, and editing in both live and studio sessions. The Larry Gatlin School of Entertainment Technology’s $9 million facilities include a 66,000-square-foot space with five state-of-the-art recording studios and an outdoor amphitheater. The department also provides cultural enrichment for the College and the wider community through various performances throughout the year.
