Develop your musicianship through performance and study at USI.

Minors in general music and applied vocal music performance offer valuable experiences for performing arts students eager to build their musical knowledge and performance skills within the theatre arts major, while applied vocal music education coursework provides a solid foundation for music teaching in elementary schools. All music programs include coursework in music theory, music history, aural skills and piano. The applied vocal music performance and education minors include four semesters of applied voice, culminating in a second year recital. All music minors complete four semesters in a USI music ensemble.

There is no additional admission requirement or application process for the Music Program beyond acceptance into the University.
