The Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music inspires and prepares students pursuing careers in music by offering four undergraduate degrees, two graduate degrees, and a minor in music degree. The department offers a proven curriculum, close mentorship with renowned faculty, and opportunities for performance and community outreach. We empower our undergraduate and graduate students to become leaders in the field of music and advocates for positive change in the communities they serve.
The department also provides students opportunities to perform in multiple instrumental and vocal ensembles, regardless of their major field of study. We full immerse students in the cultural study of music, its composition, performance techniques, education, history, and more.
At Lamar University you can sing in a chorus, go to a live performance, compose an original piece, and enjoy music of various genres and play your instruments, all while refining your natural gifts and talents.
