The faculty, staff, and students of our Music Department play an integral role in fulfilling the mission of our University through its academic curriculum, bands, choirs, and ensembles. Instrumental and vocal instruction acquaints students with the cultural heritage of our region, nation, and world. Music compels the human spirit and through different applications has made significant contributions to world history. Our music department provides an understanding of our society and provides aesthetic sensibility for the development of students, both in personal expression and social experience.

The Department of Music is an integral part of the College of Arts and Sciences, making important contributions to the cultural and intellectual life of the University community. Our music program is known for producing outstanding music educators and a variety of exciting ensembles.

The outstanding vocal and instrumental ensembles at Jacksonville State University are all part of a comprehensive music curriculum designed to train young musicians and music educators to serve the state, the region, and the nation in positions of musical leadership. Music is an important part of campus life at JSU and we appreciate the opportunity to share musical performances of our student vocalists and instrumentalists.
