Salem College School of MusicThe Salem College School of Music offers a healthful, stimulating environment in which students obtain a unique blend of excellent professional and liberal arts training. Through this training, students develop their talent to its fullest potential and prepare themselves for the world beyond Salem.
The Salem College School of Music also provides cultural leadership and educational opportunities for Salem Academy and College and for Winston-Salem and the surrounding area. Through concerts, workshops, audience building, and general music education, the School of Music seeks to contribute to the cultural vitality of our region and to secure a healthy future for the study and performance of music. Opportunities to study in the School of Music include pursuing the Bachelor of Music degree in performance (with a concentration in flute, organ, piano, or voice), the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in music, and a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major consisting of the degree requirements in music together with those of another major. Students may also earn a Bachelor of Arts with a minor in music or a minor in Music Theater. For students who are interested in studying music, but who do not plan to become music majors, there is a range of courses that fulfill the Basic Distribution Requirement in the Fine Arts. These include Women in Music, American Musical Theater, Introduction to Music, and Introduction to Music of the World. Music lessons in flute, organ, piano, and voice, as well as the standard orchestral instruments and guitar, are available to both music majors and non-music majors. Membership in Salem ensembles is open to all qualified students, regardless of their major. Salem’s cross-registration agreement with nearby Wake Forest University provides both music majors and non-music majors additional ensemble opportunities such as the Marching Band, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, and Symphony Orchestra. Music students are highly encouraged to study arts management, offered through a separate department at Salem College. In addition to its college-level program, the School of Music supports a variety of music education programs through the Salem College Community Music School. The Community Music School offers private instruction in music to children and adults. Through the Early Childhood Music program, Salem offers music instruction to very young children, from infants through age 7. Music majors have the benefit of observing and participating in Community Music School programs as part of their training. Music majors should consult the School of Music Handbook for more detailed statements of mission, goals, and objectives, and for information on procedures.
