Recognizing the significant contribution of the arts and music in particular to society, Xavier University considers music an integral part of one's liberal arts education. Music is both an art and a science encompassing the theoretical concepts of sound, historical perspective, aesthetics and the performance of music. It develops in the student an understanding and appreciation of the creative process.

Welcome to the Music Department

Do you love music? Do you sing, dance, play an instrument, or like to compose? If so, we have a place reserved for you in our lessons, ensembles and classes. Participation in music is open to any student at Xavier, regardless of their major. If you are a prospective student, we encourage you to come and sit in on a rehearsal, class or lesson. If you are a current student, our building is Edgecliff Hall - come and explore your music possibilities. 

Xavier University is an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM).
