The department’s greatest resource is its faculty, composed of more than 30 full- and part-time artist-teachers. As one of our roughly 300 undergraduate music students, you'll have the opportunity to study with a professor who specializes in your instrument and to take academic coursework from professional musicologists and theorists.
Music Department ensembles provide performance opportunities for hundreds of university students each semester. A staff of resident conductors directs the activities of the IUP Symphony Orchestra, four bands, three choruses, two jazz ensembles, and various chamber ensembles. A distinguished artist-faculty represents a wealth of professional performing experience. Recitals featuring resident faculty members and visiting artists are presented throughout the years.
