The Simpson College music program offers many varied experiences for the students aspiring to professional carreers in teaching and performing, including professional organizations and performing opportunities.

Musicians will find ample scope for study and meaningful experience, and those whose cultural and intellectual pursuits include music are given opportunity for exploration and training. By a careful and thorough integration of music as an art and music as an academic study, the department seeks to achieve a comprehensive technical foundation for the artist as well as a significant challenge for the serious student.
