The
Music Department offers excellence in instruction and performance
opportunities. The department participates in the Bachelor of Music,
Bachelor of Arts, and Master of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Studies degrees. Students may select an emphasis in
instrumental or vocal music education; instrumental, vocal, or
keyboard performance; piano pedagogy; music history; music theory;
and composition, or composition
with teaching certification.
The various music degrees prepare music majors for
careers or advanced study in public or private school music
teaching, performance, music theory, musicology, studio teaching,
and other music-related employment opportunities. By completing a
minor in music, students can gain aesthetic values, knowledge, and
experience that are beneficial as they pursue any chosen career.
The
Music Department serves the University's mission by:
 Training
student musicians in the art of musical performance
Helping
students understand the structures of music throughout history as
well as the present day
Helping
students develop the tools of self-discipline, creative expression,
analysis, problem-solving, and communication skills
Providing
coursework and ensemble experiences that enhance the lives of
university students who represent other disciplines but who desire
to be articulate, responsive, and knowledgeable about the arts in
general
Sharing
the joy of music-making with the concert-going public through
recitals and concerts
Serving as
a resource center for elementary and secondary school music teachers
and for programs in Tyler and the surrounding communities.

Performing Arts on campus, as well as in the city of Tyler and the
Northeast Texas region. It houses state-of-the-art
lecture and performance facilities, music offices and classrooms,

The University of Texas at Tyler's music faculty,
staff, and students are an energetic and focused group--rehearsing,
practicing, performing, studying, teaching, traveling, and
challenging themselves to high standards of excellence. The faculty
of artist-teachers work toward helping each undergraduate music
major and music minor to be the best musician possible, through
challenging, engaging course work, applied study, solo and ensemble
performance, practical experience and a variety of recital and
concert opportunities.
