Opportunities to interact with artists from other creative disciplines broaden young musicians. Students in music courses, as well as in vocal and instrumental ensembles, study technical and historical aspects of music both by performing and hearing it.
Students at UMBC are given the opportunity to study and perform with professional musicians. The music department faculty bring a rich and varied background in professional performance and research to UMBC. The faculty is widely recognized for its expertise in performance, composition, and music technology.
