Hannibal - LaGrange University

Our music department finds its strength in a tight-knit, professional environment where students are equipped with the key fundamentals and Christian worldview they need to succeed after graduation. All music students have an opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities and ensembles during their HLGU career. The low faculty-to-student ratio aids in the personal attention music department students receive. We know our students by name and our music students also have a strong camaraderie with one another. The department’s faculty have a high level of involvement in local churches, performing groups, and community, state, and national organizations. These experiences bring a depth of perception to their teaching roles. For students interested in performing, HLGU offers a variety of options. Choose from chapel worship band, concert choir, symphonic band with strings, or one of our ministry teams, Chamber Choir, or The New Edition (Christian theatre troupe). HLGU’s Music Department offers a variety of assistantships with faculty members and internships with local churches and schools. Our graduates have the knowledge to teach in private or public school systems, lead worship in churches, or teach privately. The music program at HLGU is also an excellent foundation for pursuing a higher academic degree.
