Music is one of Morningside's greatest traditions. Fully accredited
by the National Association of Schools of Music, the Department of
Music continues in a tradition that began more than 100 years ago with
the founding of the Morningside Conservatory of Music. Ensembles such
as the Chapel Choir, Glee Club, and Mandolin Club have been touring
the United States and overseas since the early 1900's. Today, extensive
training and experience in music is offered to students wishing to
prepare for professional careers in performance and teaching, and to
those who simply value the importance of music in their lives.
Students at Morningside have the opportunity to perform and tour annually
with The Morningside College Choir,
Bel Canto Singers (Women's Ensemble), Singing Men of Morningside,
Choral Union, Vocal Jazz Ensemble, Opera
Theater, Wind Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble, and
various chamber ensembles, including the Morningside Brass Quintet,
Woodwind
Quintet, and Percussion Ensemble.
The
Department of Music offers Celebration
of Excellence Talent Scholarships in Music to students demonstrating
exceptional performance ability on their instrument or voice and/or outstanding
potential as a
future music educator. Scholarships are available for music majors up to $5,000 a year and non-majors up to $3,500 a year. Contact
us for more info.
