College of Arts & Sciences
Overview

Through the major in Music Performance, Seton Hall University students are offered a range of courses in music history, theory, and conducting; a diverse selection of ensembles; and private lessons on their instrument or voice type. Juries, workshops, and recitals throughout the academic year offer opportunities for solo performing experience, and study in the major culminates in a public senior recital. Students are given exposure to major performing artists through concerts presented by Seton Hall's Arts Council Concert Series and Jazz 'n the Hall, and related clinics and master classes provide opportunities for hands-on work.  

Because of our small classes and high teacher-to-student ratio, we are able to listen to the needs of each individual involved in our program and offer a personalized education in music. To compliment the program's discipline-specific focus, the Bachelor of Arts degree provides a strong foundation in the liberal arts. Music Performance majors are accepted on voice, piano, and selected orchestral instruments, and are admitted into the program by audition for the faculty. Learn more about the audition process »

Students considering majoring in music performance may be interested in pursing a Bachelor of Arts in Comprehensive Music.
