About the course

Studying music includes both artistic and academic experiences. Student musicians work on their artistry in departmental recitals, master classes and participating in ensembles of various sizes and styles. Academic experiences enhance the artistry through private lessons, music theory, ear training, sight-reading and music history. At UWL, all majors and minors include several semesters of lessons on one voice or instrument. Music education courses provide opportunities to gain skills in teaching expertise as well.
