School of Music

Exciting, vibrant, and creative are the best ways to describe the School of Music at Wichita State University. Whether you are a student looking for an academic home to pursue studies in composition, music education, jazz, musicology, music theory, pedagogy, or performance, a student wanting to perform or study music while you are majoring in another discipline while you are a student at WSU, or a member of the Wichita community looking to enrich our life by attending concerts, enrolling in our course offerings, or helping to support our students, faculty, and programs, WSU is the place for you!

As the only School of Music in Kansas, we offer a full range of music study and programs that allow you to experience the best training in your field with our nationally-acclaimed specialists. Take some time to read the professional biographies of our artist/educator/scholar faculty. I think you will be impressed with the depth of their training and the level of their commitment to their art.

But what you cannot see on this website is the level of dedication this School of Music faculty and staff has to our students. From early morning to late at night, you'll find our faculty and students involved in creating music, working with students in the Wichita public schools classrooms and rehearsals, learning about new technologies, performing traditional, avant-garde, and multicultural styles of music in our state-of-the-art facilities and throughout this great urban setting of Wichita - the only state institution that can make this claim.

Take a look. Come for a visit. Chances are you'll be ready to make the School of Music at WSU your cultural and academic home.

Like our motto says -

Greater Opportunities. Greater Experiences. Greater Rewards. At Wichita State, You Can Have it All!
