Welcome!The School of Music has been housed in Duerksen Fine Arts Center since 1955. With the addition of Wiedemann Recital Hall in 1986, housing the only Marcussen Pipe Organ built in the Northern hemisphere, the study of music is a challenging and stimulating experience. The nationally acclaimed undergraduate programs include the Bachelor of Music Education degree in Music Education, and the Bachelor of Music degree in Music Performance, Conducting, Pedagogy, and Music Theory/Composition. These programs and their curricula are designed to prepare students to compete and succeed in the changing musical world. Because of its urban setting in the city of Wichita, Kansas, the School of Music provides a unique variety of performance and teaching opportunities not available to students in smaller communities. And the Faculty Artist and Visiting Artist Series are considered to be some of the finest in the country. The Graduate Degree programs in the School of Music also reflect the current trends in education and performance emphases; the Master of Music Education degree in Music Education and the Master of Music degree in Performance, Pedagogy, Conducting, History/Literature, and Composition. Each of these programs can be tailored to the specific needs of the student, and the faculty, both graduate and undergraduate, are outstanding scholars and performers in their respective areas of expertise.
