Hamline’s music department integrates the development of musicianship skills with historical and theoretical study. All students, regardless of major, are able to take music courses, lessons, and participate in ensembles. Ensembles include the A Cappella Choir, chamber music ensembles, Jazz Ensemble and jazz combos, Orchestra, University Chorale, and Wind Ensemble.
Sundin Music Hall, with its warm ambience and acoustics, is used for student recitals, rehearsals, and concerts. In addition, Sundin Hall is host to many professional ensembles and soloists of local and international renown. The hall has digital recording equipment, web-streaming capability, a Hamburg Steinway and a nine-foot Yamaha concert grand piano.
International study opportunities include full term and short term options. Recently music majors have attended full term study in England, France, the Netherlands and Italy. During the January short term our Music History Study Abroad courses take students to Europe to study on site.
Music majors have pursued graduate studies and successful careers in performance, teaching, film scoring, audio engineering, arts management and professional fields relating to music.
The department has been an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) since 1961.
