University of Montana

The mission of the School of Music is to provide a comprehensive instructional program in music that will develop strong teachers, performers, composers, critical thinkers, scholars, and entrepreneurs. We strive to set and maintain high standards of musical excellence for a broad and diverse community of constituents while simultaneously creating a path to successful careers in the modern economy. We value an interdisciplinary education and work to collaborate with other departments/schools on campus in the belief that such efforts will broaden our sphere of influence, resulting in promotion of the role of arts in academic, local, and statewide communities. We recognize a responsibility to be of service to the greater region by providing leadership and public service to students and teachers in schools as well as communities throughout Montana and beyond.
