Widener University

Widener's music program is unique in that it is comprised of students who are majoring in other fields of study. If you have made music an important part of your life, your musical growth need not end with high school graduation. The music program is designed to allow development of musical ability through performance and private study while majoring in another field, or as part of the Fine Arts program.

 

Widener's instrumental ensembles rehearse weekly throughout the year. Performance opportunities include: football games, recitals, and concerts. Our professional recording facilities allow students to assess their progress. CD recordings of recent performances are available.

 

Students may also parpticipate in a Choral Music program including the Widener Chorale and the Gospel Choir.


MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS
Freshmen can apply for scholarship awards, which are applied toward the cost of tuition, in amounts between $2,000 and $5,000. The scholarship is renewable throughout the four-year course of study at Widener. Awards are determined by an interview and audition with the Director of Music.

ACADEMIC CREDIT
Students in any of the performing ensembles are eligible to receive academic credit for their participation. These credits also count towards the performing requirement in the Fine Arts major or minor program.

Due to its nature as a student-led activity, there is no academic credit for the Pep Band.
