Vision:

To be a premier comprehensive school of music, nationally recognized for distinctive programs that are committed to high standards of artistic scholarship and performance while championing innovation and stylistic diversity.

Mission:

Our mission is to study, perform, and create music in a stimulating student-centered environment that fosters excellence, discipline and technical mastery; supports innovation and stylistic diversity; engages students through effective and current teaching pedagogies; enlivens students in real world experiences as musicians and entrepreneurs; and offers a distinctive national model…preparing students to become successful 21st century musicians.

Goals:

1. To offer a comprehensive set of diverse undergraduate and graduate curricula for students desiring to pursue music as a profession

2. To provide classes, ensembles, and private music instruction for students majoring in an area other than music

3. To enrich the cultural environment locally, regionally, and nationally.
