Western Illinois University

The School of Music at Western Illinois University is committed to a dual mission within the university:

Helping each undergraduate and graduate music major and music minor to be the best musician they can be through course work, applied study, solo and ensemble performance, practical experience, and a variety of listening opportunities; and serving, along with other departments in the College of Fine Arts and Communication, as a cultural center for the university, the community, and the region; including a strong commitment to providing opportunities for non-major university students to develop awareness and understanding of music in a variety of cultural contexts.
