At SPU Music our tagline is "Music For All." We aspire to address inclusivity and equity in higher education music education and to create a safe place for training both the professionally minded, conservatory-level student and those engaged in varying degree programs across campus — for the student who has 15 years of formal training, and the student who just started. At SPU Music we have the Seattle Advantage. Nestled on the lush canal side of Queen Anne Hill in the heart of Seattle, we have some of the best teaching artists in the country on our faculty. Our students have access to the diversity of culture of Seattle and the full breadth of the music industry. At SPU Music our goal is to enable our students to create their own music.
