Salem College

Students in Music perform as soloists in Performance Forum, as collaborative musicians through chamber music and choir, and in end-of-semester showcases. Music students at Salem gain valuable practice in a performance setting, growing into skilled and confident musicians, with the potential for employment as church musicians, accompanists, and solo performers, as well as the option to pursue graduate studies in music.

Students in Music also perform in a senior solo recital, present a lecture-recital, or write a senior thesis. This culminating experience as a performer and/or researcher encourages students to maximize their potential as thinking musicians and to share their passion and curiosity for music with the Salem community. These senior projects serve as springboards to future employment, or prepare students for entering graduate studies in music.
