About the course

The Bachelor of Music is a professional degree in which at least 65% of its credits are in music. Students audition as vocalists or instrumentalists to take lessons for 3-4 years of enrollment (depending on concentration), participate in 7-8 semesters of ensembles, and complete at least one recital in addition to focused coursework in music. At JMU, you enjoy a conservatory-level education while taking advantage of the opportunities of a large liberal arts-based university program. As a Music major, you can choose from one of six specialized concentrations: performance, composition, music industry, music education, jazz studies or music theatre. School of Music graduates are equipped with all the tools they need to transform the power of their knowledge into action.
