Winona State University

The Music Department is a vital part of WSU’s campus life and our community. Not only does our program give students the opportunity to enrich their lives through music, but it also exposes other students, staff, and community members to the performing arts.

We believe that all learners should have the chance to participate in music, whether they are:

preparing for a career in the field

enhancing another degree with music education

playing or singing in a performance for enjoyment

simply attending concerts and recitals

In our department, you will learn from experienced educators and professional musicians. They are active in the music world through performing, presenting workshops, composing, researching, and writing to not only enrich themselves, but also their students.

Our faculty will give each student our best effort to help them get what they want from our program, whether it’s the skills for a career or the simple enjoyment of music.
