As part of the College of Arts and Humanities, we offer undergraduate and graduate musicians conservatory training, while emphasizing the importance of the combined scholar, performer, educator, and arts advocate in the 21st century. Our graduates enter the professional world with command of their art form, prepared to build a career in the arts and eager to nurture creative expression for the future.

Only nine miles from Washington DC and 30 miles from downtown Baltimore, Maryland, our location adds significant value to the UMD experience. Our students enrich this culturally diverse region as teachers and performers through School of Music community engagement programs.
