Letter from the Chair

Welcome to the UND Music Department. Let me introduce North Dakota's most comprehensive music program, where we help students realize their full potential as musicians and scholars. Through private lessons, class instruction, ensemble performance, and experiential learning, students at UND Music grow in their pursuit of excellence, creativity, community, and aesthetic development. Our dedicated faculty uphold respect for individuals within a diverse student body. Our fine students, committed faculty, and superb ensembles provide artistic and intellectual leadership to the University and Greater Grand Forks area. 

Musical studies at UND include undergraduate degrees in Music Education, Music Therapy, Music Performance, and Music as a liberal art, plus graduate degrees in Music Education, Performance, Pedagogy, Composition, and Conducting. Private lessons in voice and all standard instruments join a varied menu of large and small ensembles and academic classes. The UND Music Department offers career and avocational development in North Dakota's broadest and most varied program of musical studies, creativity, and research.
