Instrumental students perform in ensembles and as soloists. Instrumental students work in combos, quartets, symphony, band, and jazz settings, immersing themselves in a wide rand of repertoire to become well rounded musicians and music educators.

UM Music’s exceptional faculty are active performers who continue to hone their craft and their pedagogy. They leverage this experience to support an advance learning in a student-centered environment.
