Welcome to the web site for the Music Department at the University of Arkansas!

Our mission is to "strive to enrich and inspire the human mind and spirit through the pursuit of excellence in creative activity, research, teaching, and performance."

We are a multi-disciplinary department dedicated to the professional training of students in performance, music education, composition, music theory, ethnomusicology, and music history, all within the liberal arts context of the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.

Students in the Music Department perform a variety of solo, chamber, and large ensemble music, guided by a gifted and dedicated faculty, who are themselves distinguished performers, teachers, and scholars.

We hope that this web site will provide answers for most of the questions you may have about music at the University of Arkansas. For further information contact the music office, or the members of our faculty who specialize in your area of interest.
