The Department of Music at McKendree University reinstated its full music curriculum in 1996. We currently offer two minor programs, six bachelor degree programs, and one master’s degree program. Over the years the department has made great strides and has seen many successful graduates. Many students who choose not to major or minor in music are nevertheless active participants in one of the performing ensembles, or take lessons in voice, piano, organ, woodwind, brass, or percussion instruments. Please browse through the website for more information.
