Distinguished Music Faculty
A music school is only as good as its faculty; the most important aspect
to your education is the teachers who guide your development. At Salem,
you will study with the best performers and composers with the highest
level of recognition not only in this part of the United States, but throughout
the country and even worldwide.
"The music faculty’s personal attention challenged me
to become a disciplined and attentive musician. I feel equipped with
the skills and confidence to go out into the real world and pursue my
dreams."
– Susan Walker, ‘02
Salem’s music professors are not only superb as teachers; they
also are active professionally, some as performers, others as composers
or in other ways. But of most importance to the student is the fact that
they know how to teach and take teaching seriously.
