Music Major for a day – Friday, March 21, 2025
It is essential to find the right fit as you consider your choice of where to pursue your future music studies, and we understand that it is difficult to get a real feel for a place by just viewing it online. If you are currently a high school junior or senior, or a college transfer student, we invite you to Music Major for a Day on Friday, March 21, 2025 at the Shepherd University School of Music. On this day, you will attend classes, meet the music faculty and current students, hear ensemble rehearsals and performances, have lunch in the Dining Hall and take a guided tour of the Frank Arts Center. It will be an opportunity for students to live a “day in the life” of a Shepherd University music student and learn about the audition and application process. Interested parents are also welcome to attend Music Major for a Day. There is no charge to participate in this event.
