The mission of the Department of Music at Midwestern State University is to provide a comprehensive music curriculum with a wide range of performance opportunities which will equip students for a variety of music careers. Our programs will also enable students to become well-rounded persons through involvement in diverse liberal arts courses. The Department of Music endeavors to help students develop aesthetic sensibility, cultural awareness, and social responsibility. Not only are students taught to create within their disciplines, they are challenged to evaluate the quality of what they have created. Central to the mission is to empower students to use their talents to enrich and advance society. The Department of Music also serves as a catalyst between the university and the community in promoting artistic activities.

The instructors and staff are dedicated to helping all students who participate in our programs reach their true potential. With that in mind, the department has adopted four statements of purpose to further define the role of the department:

• The Department of Music makes a strong commitment to the liberal arts by providing all students with varied and significant classroom experiences and performance opportunities.
• The Department of Music prepares music students with the knowledge, skill, attitude, and appreciation necessary for them to be successful as professional music educators and performers.
• The Department of Music provides music students with a wide range of educational and musical experiences which encourage continued professional growth.
• The Department of Music serves as a center of musical excellence to its constituency — the university and the surrounding community.
