Why study Music?
We believe the study and enjoyment of music inspires
students to be informed, responsible, and appreciative
members of a democratic society. Music majors work closely
with faculty, who combine dedicated teaching with artistic
and scholarly excellence. Instructors and students hold
concerts and recitals throughout the year.
Scholarship Opportunities
The Music Department has scholarships available to
incoming freshman as well as continuing students. For details
on audition dates, call 509.359.2241 or visit
www.ewu.edu/music.
Practice Rooms and Performance Facilities
Music students enjoy modern facilities featuring a state of
the art piano laboratory with 16 units, 32 practice rooms,
electronic music laboratory, three technically-enhanced
classrooms, and an extensive collection of recordings,
scores, and music reference materials located in the JFK
Library. In addition, the department houses music
classrooms, two large rehearsal rooms (vocal and
instrumental), and a 250-seat capacity recital hall. The
renovated Showalter Hall serves as an additional
performance venue.
Minimum Grade Standards
The minimum acceptable grade for any music course
required for graduation is 2.8. This standard also applies to
courses transferred from other institutions.
