Choral Music Minor Program Overview

Concentrate on Music Performance

The choral music minor provides courses in music theory and history, applied lessons, participation in performance ensembles and a variety of other music classes to further your musical knowledge, as well as opportunities to emphasize studies in select areas.

You will receive extensive training in music performance in the areas of instrumental, piano, and vocal, while gaining a solid foundation in music theory, history and conducting.

Learn From Expert Faculty

Your classes are taught by internationally recognized artists and teachers. Individual attention is the hallmark of our music program.

The faculty will work closely with you to obtain the highest level of musicianship, creativity, and scholarship. Your learning experiences include numerous performance opportunities.

As an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music, the Department of Music is committed to the highest standards of excellence in teaching and training students who will become the artists and teachers of the future.

It would be difficult to find a more diversified and challenging curriculum than the music curriculum at UNCW.
