MUSIC PROGRAM

Widener's Music Program is unique in that it is comprised of students who are majoring in fields of study other than music. The program focuses on performing excellence and artistic integrity. 

Choose from 

The musical environment at Widener University is designed to suit the needs of the students in our program. Many students have made music an important part of their lives through years of hard work and personal commitment. Your musical growth need not end with high school graduation simply because you have elected to major in another career area.

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

Music Scholarships

Freshman can apply for music scholarships of $2,000, which are awarded yearly. The scholarship is renewable throughout the four-year course of study at Widener. The Music program is designed to allow development of musical ability through performance and private study while majoring in another field. Awards are determined by an interview and audition with the Director of Music.

Choral Music

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