Welcome to the Department of Music!
Yearly marching band competitions for area schools and faculty who’ve been recognized nationally and internationally in their fields are only some of the reasons you should make Western your first choice for higher education in music.

All the notes work together in the department. Our instrumental and choral ensembles are constantly touring, providing students with chances to learn and perform, keeping Western’s musicians in touch with the community. The faculty comes from varied backgrounds, providing students with a broad range of experiences and instruction. Our commercial music department helps get students with more modern interests ready to work in radio and rock and roll.

As a result of their work in our collective song, our students leave us with the best background possible and a solid chance at the career of their choice.

So come and have a listen, see if you like what you hear!
