A charter member of the National Association of Schools of Music in 1928, the Setnor School of Music has a long tradition of high-quality education for serious music students. Its programs reflect a concern for academics as well as professional studies. The school offers its students opportunities to prepare for careers as performers, composers, arrangers, scholars, teachers, and professionals in the music industry. Students learn from faculty members who are themselves actively involved in music-making. Students, faculty, and visiting artists perform on campus throughout the year, as do symphonic, chamber, opera, and choral groups.
