The University of La Verne’s Music Department provides a wide array of opportunities for students and community members to experience and immerse themselves in musics from the Western Art tradition, American music, and the musics of diverse cultures. Courses allow students to develop critical understandings of artistic expression as an essential part of life, while ensembles sponsored by the department offer everyone in the La Verne community the chance to participate in jazz, orchestra, chamber groups, pep band, and chorale performances, sometimes around the world.
Students may choose to either major or minor to learn the skills necessary for today’s musicians, with concentrations available in performance, history, and theory/composition. The Music Department has a unique relationship with the university in that students from all disciplines are invited and encouraged to participate in all classes, ensembles, and applied lessons. We give the opportunity to initiate and/or continue development of musical talent and interest to everyone.
