Music is a passion. Whether you have a passion for sharing it, creating it, or teaching it, you’ll find support and guidance within Heidelberg’s School of Music and Theatre. Whether you want to teach, perform, create, or inspire, Heidelberg is the place for music. All music majors receive free private lessons, recital opportunities, and the ability to interact with visiting professional musicians. You’ll be mentored by an experienced faculty musician and gain experience by participating in a wide variety of ensembles.
Heidelberg offers three degree options in music - a Bachelor of Arts degree (you select an emphasis in either traditional music or popular music), a Bachelor of Music degree (you select either music education or music performance) and a Bachelor of Music in Music Performance degree (train to become a professional performer).
In a world where artists rarely have one passion or career goal, you’ll have the opportunity and flexibility to follow your creative pursuits. Whether pairing with a complimentary major outside of the arts (Computer Science, Psychology, Business) or your interests in many outlets within the arts (Composition, Arts Administration, Entrepreneurship), you’ll be guided – as a student artist – by faculty advisors into the multifaceted career paths that are commonplace in the 21st century.
