Graduate Opportunities

The University of North Texas College of Music is one of the nation's most comprehensive music schools and recognized internationally for its artistic and academic excellence. The college is a vital component of the region's arts community, presenting approximately 1,000 concerts annually. Its facilities include 300 practice rooms, seven performance venues (including Winspear Hall at the Murchison

Performing Arts Center and Voertman Hall), numerous classrooms and rehearsal rooms, computer labs and an intermedia theater.

The College of Music offers a variety and quality of performance opportunities unmatched by smaller schools, from large ensembles such as the One O'Clock Lab Band and the Wind Symphony to specialized groups such as the Baroque Orchestra and Gamelan.

In addition to the many orchestras and bands, students get chamber music experience through the Center for Chamber Music Studies and perform with instrumental choirs such as the Harp Ensemble or Trombone Choir. Percussionists can play in classical percussion ensembles and world music groups that include the Afro-Cuban Ensemble or Steel Band. Playing in College of Music ensembles gives you professional-level experience — valuable preparation for a career in music.

Many of our Instrumental Performance students are also involved with the Texas Center for Music and Medicine. The center features a team of musicians, music educators, clinicians and research scientists who study, treat and prevent various medical problems associated with learning and performing music.
