EMU is a small Christian liberal arts college nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley
of Virginia. A bachelor of arts in music from EMU prepares graduates for work in music education, in performance, in graduate school,
and in other music-related professions. Our small size means you'll have great opportunities
to perform, create and educate. Our faculty are passionate about connecting music
with community, cross-cultural experiences and service. Even if you're not a music
major you can join an ensemble, or play in the orchestra or jazz band. Music is an
important part of the EMU community.
Scholarships are available for music majors and non-majors who are interested in participating in music ensembles at EMU.
You could also minor in music at EMU to combine music with other career paths or get a concentration in pre-music therapy to prepare you for graduate studies.
