Music plays an exciting and vibrant role in a Marietta College education
From large scale choral and instrumental performances to small ensembles, from individual lessons to classroom learning, improving one's personal musicianship and sharing artistic expression are central to our music program.
The music department welcomes the participation of all interested students in its ensemble programs, private lessons, and music courses, regardless of major. At the same time, Marietta music majors are assured a thorough preparation for graduate school and for future careers within the profession.
Key performance opportunities abound for Marietta College students, who work in a close, collegial relationship with their professors. Our music faculty is known throughout the region as performers, composers, and scholars who are committed to quality in every endeavor.
