Be prepared!

There are times when you know that God has gifted you and is calling you to music - you're just not sure how, when, or why! You know you do not wish to teach in the classroom, but you just can't bear the thought of not studying music. Perhaps you are also gifted in another area and are looking for a way to double major in music. Perhaps you are open to attending graduate school, or opening your very own private studio, or performing, or assisting with the church music ministry. Indiana Weseyan University's Applied Music major is designed as a liberal arts degree to prepare you for your future - wherever that may be!

Students may also choose to minor in Music as a supplement to another IWU major.

The IWU Division of Music is committed to preparing you completely with courses in the liberal arts, your specific instrument, music theory, music history, conducting, instrumental techniques, and piano skills and composition, as well as offering you a variety of vocal and instrumental ensemble opportunities. You will be challenged and mentored by caring, Christ-like faculty who are committed to helping you become ready to change the world through music, wherever God may lead you.
