Welcome to the Department of Music at Elon University! Here you’ll find an array of detailed material about the department, major and minor degree programs, ensembles, faculty and staff information, alumni profiles, and audition information. Here at Elon, we balance a strong liberal arts environment with high standards for musicality and professional skills. A nurturing, student-focused approach permeates every aspect of our teaching, while challenging each student to reach her or his highest potential.
Elon University offers four major degrees in music: the B.S. in Music Education, B.S. in Music Technology, B.A. in Music Performance, and the B.A. in Music (designed for students who wish to double major in another field). We also offer minors in jazz studies, music technology, and general music and have a certification preparation program in piano pedagogy. Our 6:1 music major to full-time faculty ratio ensures students will receive unparalleled individual instruction throughout their academic studies.
Again, welcome to our virtual home, and I hope you enjoy exploring all the Elon Music Department has to offer. Please feel free to contact myself or any faculty member if we can be of any assistance.
Sincerely,
Dr. Matthew Buckmaster
