With so many choices available to students looking for a small college, what is it about Ashland that deserves your attention? What makes music at Ashland an outstanding choice for you?

Ashland University has fine facilities, modern equipment and a beautiful campus, but I believe it is the people, the environment they create and the opportunities available to students that make music at Ashland and outstanding choice. You will encounter a world-class faculty which brings to its students not just knowledge but experience and enthusiasm -a faculty who has a genuine interest in helping students to develop their potential academically, musically and personally. You will find students who support and encourage each other. You will find opportunities to perform, participate and contribute that are not always available at larger institutions. Whether majoring in music or participating in the many ensembles offered, I truly believe that students who come to Ashland and involve themselves in music will find more than just courses and credits. They will find themselves in the middle of the life of a vibrant institution while they afford themselves an outstanding education in music.

Before making your final choice, make sure music at Ashland is on your list.

Chair, Department of Music

"Throughout my years at Ashland as a Musical Theatre major, my involvement in the Music Department included participation in University Choir, Private Voice Instruction, Music History and Basic Musicianship classes.  The atmosphere of the Music Department at Ashland is one where students are given support and encouraged to meet their fullest potential."
