Our curricula offer real-world knowledge to help you prepare for real-world success. Our applied faculty includes members of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, recognized as one of the world’s great orchestras. A number of our faculty members also hold appointments with the Community Music School of Webster University, a great resource that provides music instruction for very young children through senior adults across our region.
Numerous ensembles provide outstanding educational and aesthetic experiences to students from across the campus. Ensembles run the gamut from the orchestra to chorus, jazz band to chamber groups.
