The Slippery Rock University Department of Music is committed to providing learning experiences to meet the current and future needs of today’s student.  We recognize the unique power of music to express emotion, to teach, to foster communication, to access memories, to motivate, to initiate movement, and to provide enrichment for the community-at-large.  The department will provide an environment for serious study and musical performance as we prepare our students for successful careers in music education, music therapy, and performance.
