​

The Wind Ensemble is the top 45 instrumentalists in the department.  Recognized throughout the southeast, the wind ensemble gives a variety of concerts and frequently tours.

The Governors Own Marching Band (GOMB) is made of up 170+ musicians from across the university.  Students receive a stipend and perform at football games.      

The University Orchestra gives four full-length concerts annually.  The final “concert” is a performance of fully-staged opera.

Recitals

 

Your capstone performance is your senior recital.  To prepare for this moment, you will give a number of smaller performances from studio class, to recital hour, to level performances. 

 

These take place in our exciting performance spaces from the 650 seat Mabry hall to the 100 seat Heydel Hall. 

​

They all make flutists sound awesome.

At the APSU Department of Music, you will receive focused and personal instruction from our dedicated and celebrated faculty
who know how to prepare students for careers in music.
