University of Puget Sound School of Music Discover music & liberal arts within a remarkable community of scholar-artists at the University of Puget Sound. linktr.ee/pugetsoundmusic

The School of Music at the University of Puget Sound is unique. We are one of the few liberal arts colleges in the country with a conservatory-style School of Music. Here, we prepare students for professional careers in music and support non-majors interested in continuing their study. Our active faculty of artist-teachers, scholars, and creative artists work together to train the whole musician,

to help students achieve an equal excellence in both performance and musical understanding. Through our Bachelor of Music degrees (in performance, music education, composition, and with elective studies in business) and Bachelor of Arts degree, our students gain the skills and experience to go on to the finest graduate schools or pursue careers in performance, teaching, scholarship, music business, or music-related fields. Our nine choral and instrumental ensembles, multiple chamber groups, stage productions, and numerous music clubs offer many opportunities to perform. Even if you choose to major in another subject, double major, or minor in music, we offer you rich opportunities for continued study of music and musical performance.
