Bachelor of Music in Music Composition

Lamar University

The Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music at Lamar University offers a Bachelor of Music in Music Composition. The program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and fully immerses you in the cultural study of composition. Here, you can sing in a chorus, go to a live performance, compose an original piece, enjoy music of various genres and play your instruments, all while refining your natural gifts and talents. Surrounded by artistic institutions throughout our area, we strongly encourage you to participate in Southeast Texas’ cultural life. Some of our regional ensembles include the Symphony of Southeast Texas, Beaumont Interfaith Choral Society, Beaumont Community Players, Beaumont Ballet Theatre and the Beaumont Civic Ballet. Other opportunities lie in our rich variety of religious institutions, live music venues and community theatre companies, to name a few, that are always willing to have LU music students as performers – and some of those pay scholarships or stipends. Southeast Texas is an ideal place to study music in all its forms.
