What will I learn?

Whether your goal is to perform, compose or inspire the next generation of musicians, the music major at UB can help you achieve success. From our practice rooms and recording studio to our on-campus concert halls, you’ll find your place (and your people!) right here. As one of our students said, "I felt the music department was a comfortable place for me to grow as a musician and make like-minded friends.''What will I learn?As a music student, you'll take individual lessons in voice or your instrument, as well as classes in music history, theory and analysis. You'll typically join one (or two or three or more!) of our performance groups, where you'll sharpen your stage presence. Depending on your interests, you might also choose to take electives in composition, conducting, electronic music or a specific genre of music.
