About the Music Department

The Hobart and William Smith Department of Music seeks to develop the musical understanding of HWS Choralestudents who desire to broaden their cultural perspective through study of the arts, as well as to prepare those students who wish to pursue a professional career in music.

Music courses are open to all students who have fulfilled the necessary pre-requisites or who have gained the permission of individual instructors; however admission to choral and instrumental ensembles is by audition only. Private instruction in applied music is available to all students for an additional fee.
