Students interested in receiving a scholarship must complete the University's application for financial aid and audition by February 1 in order to be eligible. Music scholarships may be renewed for up to four years, but a student must reapply for scholarships each year.
Music studio faculty members bring their extensive experience as teachers, performers, composers, and producers directly to you! They are committed to teaching the individual student, whether in lessons or in larger courses. Because developing skills in music performance involves one-on-one teaching, significant mentoring relationships often develop that last well beyond a student's graduation.
