Individual attention is the hallmark of the Department of Music at UNCW, as students and faculty work closely together to cultivate the fundamental concepts for lifelong learning, as well as developing the highest level of musicianship, creativity and scholarship related to teaching, performance, research, music technology and industry, and appreciation of music. In addition, the department is committed to enriching the quality of life within and beyond southeastern North Carolina by serving as a cultural and educational resource within the rich arts community in the region.
