For over 150 years, the Illinois Wesleyan School of Music has enjoyed a national reputation for producing talented musicians, vocalists, composers and music educators. Learn from our distinguished faculty. Student-faculty relationships are essential to any musician’s education and training. Our low student-to-teacher ratio ensures that every student will enjoy personal attention in class settings and a close mentoring relationship with an applied teacher.
The School of Music at Illinois Wesleyan University offers a transformative experience that helps students grow into inspiring musicians and well-rounded individuals through rigorous training and the acquisition of comprehensive knowledge and skills. As a professional music school firmly set within a liberal arts university, we are committed to providing a challenging, supportive, inclusive, and richly diverse environment for the cultivation of musical talent to contribute to the expression of truths and the upliftment of humanity that the creative and performing arts uniquely supply.
Combine professional training with a nationally-ranked education.
