Whether music is your life – or simply a treasured part of the life you hope to create – Cal Lutheran’s Music Department can provide the professional training and performance experiences that maximize your abilities and enhance your love of the art.
The Music Department prides itself on creating a strong musical education within a nurturing atmosphere. Faculty members are experienced professionals who are committed to teaching excellence.
The music program is widely respected for its performance ensembles, its classroom teaching, its studio instruction and the musical theater productions presented in collaboration with the Theatre Arts Department.
Music Department technology labs embrace the latest in digital music production and studio recording. The department works closely with the multimedia program to foster collaboration among students working on projects ranging from new media to film.
Each student has the opportunity to study privately with some of the finest musicians in the Los Angeles area. Individual lessons are available in voice, piano, organ, percussion, composition, and all string, brass and woodwind instruments. Solo performance opportunities are widely available.
Ensembles are open to all university students (by audition), and include the Cal Lutheran Choir, Women’s Chorale, University Symphony, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Improvisation Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, and smaller chamber ensembles. The Cal Lutheran Choir and Wind Ensemble embark on frequent tours. Past trips have included Hawaii, England, Scandinavia, and Italy.
Career preparation is an important part of the student/faculty mentor relationship. While many music students continue on to graduate studies, careful advising and planning of course work have led Cal Lutheran graduates to successful careers teaching in public schools and universities, working in the church or in establishing their own private studios. Graduates have also become successful singers, instrumentalists and conductors throughout the country. Music related work is also available in industries such as media, advertising, arts management and in the exciting ever-changing film, television and recording industries.
