Music at SHU
Whether you want to develop and showcase your vocal or musical talent, start a career in music production or become a music educator, SHU has the programs to support your goals.
Music Studies
Study music theory, history, and your major instrument to earn a BA in Music or a Minor in Music. Music majors may focus on one of two 12-credit concentrations in either music performance or production.
Lessons are available for beginners who have never studied before, to advanced students who have previously studied and have attained a high level of achievement. Our expert Music faculty will custom design and tailor an educational plan based on each student's skill level, abilities and interests.
