The School of Music transforms lives through excellence in music teaching, performance,
creative activities, research and service.
We prepare musicians for professional careers and leadership in music teaching, performance,
composition, research and related fields, by offering more than 20 degree programs .
The School of Music serves as a cultural and educational center of excellence for
the state of South Carolina and the nation. Faculty members and their students engage
in community outreach activities by organizing and teaching workshops, classes, camps
and clinics. The School of Music enriches the musical life of the university and the
city by offering more than 300 concerts and recitals a year.
Together the students, faculty, and staff are going beyond the concert hall to create
purpose driven concerts and events in the community and utilizing music as the bridge.
As a society we are experiencing isolation and disconnected living through a global
pandemic in addition to immense suffering felt from the inequality and inequity of
liberty that must be available to all Americans. Learn More
