High Point University Department of Music

High Point University Department of Music The Department of Music at High Point University is one of the fastest growing programs on campus. Come share your talents with us!

We are open to all HPU students through various instrumental and vocal ensembles Come and join us! The Department of Music at High Point University is one of the most dynamic and exciting programs on campus. Students studying music are challenged to not only refine their technical skills through lessons and ensemble participation, but to improve their musicianship through multiple solo and ensembl

e performances. All current and prospective students who have a background in music are encouraged to consider either a major or minor in music or double majoring in music and another subject area. Scholarship money is available to music majors, members of advanced vocal ensembles, and the HPU Pep Band. Although the number of music majors and minors is increasing every semester, you do not have to be a major or minor to participate in music ensembles or earn applicable scholarship money. The Department of Music at High Point University is open to all HPU students. The music curriculum offered at High Point University is unique, innovative, and reflective of the highest standards in collegiate music instruction. By utilizing an integrative learning style, our curriculum gives students a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the art of music-making in the 21st century. We have developed this new method of teaching by integrating the disciplines of Music Theory, Music History, Aural Skills, and Music Literature into a single, four-semester sequence of "Music Core" classes. This sequence of courses presents the essentials of music theory and aural skills, while exploring the development of music in history, and always applying the theoretical concepts of music to actual performances. This integrative learning style enables students to understand the development of music in an organic and holistic manner, and teaches them how what they learn in the classroom is directly applicable to their work on their individual instrument and ultimately, to the stage. Additionally, our curriculum allows each student to take free departmental electives in their junior and senior years that can enhance their specific areas of interest. In this way, we can fully prepare our students for however they choose to use the BA degree in Music after leaving HPU. Some potential areas of secondary emphasis are Music Business, Jazz Studies, Sacred Music, Musical Theatre, Opera, Music Technology, Music Education, etc. Because students are given so much flexibility within the degree program, the possibilities for secondary areas are almost limitless.

It's a historic year of singing at HPU! Sign-ups and auditions for choirs have been going crazy well and we have more students singing in choir now than we have in the past 10 years! That includes over 30 tenors and basses! We always have room for more, so if you're an HPU student please know we would LOVE to have you in one of our choirs.

HPU faculty and staff: be watching your emails for an invitation to join us (YES, sing in the choir) this December as we present part I of Handel's MESSIAH, with orchestra and student soloists.

HPU Department of Music Update:

Next week we welcome our most diverse group of music majors and minors in our history, with 18 different states represented and 17 different double major pairings. Furthermore, we will have our lowest number of students representing the Northeast this year with only 24% hailing from that region. 56% of our music majors and minors call the south "home" while 18% represent the Midwest and West - the most in our history!

Word is getting out! The High Point University Department of Music is the place to be!
