Experience IWU's School of Music

Superb professional music training within the University’s liberal arts tradition: Indeed, IWU is one of the few schools in the country where young musicians can combine the breadth of an outstanding liberal arts education with the rigorous professional training of a fully accredited school of music.

Personal attention to the development of each student: Enrollment is intentionally small and selective (12:1), guaranteeing that every student will enjoy close mentoring relationships with our expert faculty members.  Since IWU is entirely comprised of undergraduates, students from their first year through their senior year are able to participate in a wide range of performing experiences seldom available in schools of comparable size.

Extensive performance tours: The Jazz Ensemble, Collegiate Choir, and Wind Ensemble tour annually.   In recent years, tours have taken IWU’s ensembles to Russia, the Bahamas, England, Scotland, Disneyland, Disney World, and throughout the United States.

Emphasis on solo and ensemble performance: Students study primary and secondary instruments with a faculty of gifted artist/ teachers.  At Illinois Wesleyan University, this relationship blends emerging and established talents in a unique environment.
