ABOUT THE PROGRAM OF MUSIC

Our students create music seven days a week both individually and through ensembles. They perform in venues on and off campus, in D.C. and beyond. Through our curriculum, which includes courses in performance, history & culture, computer music, and theory, students get to know each other and enjoy encouraging and productive relationships with faculty members. Our Bachelor of Arts in Music degree fosters musicianship, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. A major in music prepares students for a wide variety of career choices, both in music-centered professions and beyond.Our majors and minors are encouraged to join ensembles to develop performance experience and expand their repertoire.

Opportunities for Non-Majors: GW students with a background in music are welcome and encouraged to audition to participate in our ensembles. Membership in these ensembles is composed of the varied and talented GW community and is not limited to those registered as a music major or minor.
