The Weber State University music program offers learning opportunities, scholarships and tuition waivers for students who want to pursue a degree in music or participate in musical ensembles. Students have the chance to perform at various venues, collaborate with other musicians and receive mentoring from experienced faculty members.
There are opportunities in various orchestras, choirs, ensembles and bands. Additionally, students can apply for the String and Wind Chamber Music Programs. All students, regardless of major, are expected to meet the corresponding curricular requirements to ensure high levels of performance, discipline and commitment.
Students do not have to be music majors to get involved. Bigger ensembles usually provide an opportunity for all students to get an activity waiver. Those waivers are open to full-time students with a minimum 2.5 GPA. The waivers are awarded annually to those participating in the selected ensemble. In addition to these, Weber State University’s music program offers more music-related scholarships based on performance skills and financial need.
Private instruction for specific instruments is also available for all students for a fee.
