Arts on Campus: Music

"I can pick up the phone and call any one of the professors with whom I worked closest and still receive the best advice, insight, and support. And they can attest that I still really do call them!"

Connie Frigo, DMA, '05
Assistant Professor of Saxophone
University of Tennessee at Knoxville

Nationally recognized for both scholarly and artistic excellence, the University of South Carolina School of Music enriches the life of the University and the Columbia community by offering some 250 concerts a year. Students majoring or minoring in music can study across a wide range of disciplines, including composition, guitar, jazz, music education, music history, music theory, strings, voice, winds and more. And through special events and projects like the USC String Project, the Southeastern Piano Festival, the Community Music Program and the Children's Music Development Center, the School of Music not only provides hands-on training for its students but also does much to foster the vibrancy of Columbia's music culture.

Across all times and all cultures, music has always been an essential component of the human experience. The School of Music celebrates our musical heritage and trains the musical leaders of tomorrow.
