The Kansas Wesleyan University Department of Music offers majors in Music Performance, Music Education, and Creative Major, as well as a minor in Music. The Music Department’s foundation is built upon faculty members who are well qualified in their specific content area to broaden each student’s knowledge and understanding of music. Each faculty member, in addition to stressing quality performances, emphasizes the day-to-day basic music education techniques that lend themselves to preparing students to become well prepared educators.
