The Evangel University Department of Music is vitally interested in the spiritual, academic, social and aesthetic development of every student. The purpose of the department is to provide an excellent musical education that is thoroughly integrated with the university’s emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Within this framework, students are required to grapple with new intellectual, musical, aesthetic, social, ethical and technological challenges.

The Department of Music’s objectives are:

1. To bring a breadth of stimulating intellectual experiences in music that will challenge each student to become a thinking and disciplined person responsive and sensitive to the needs of society.
2. To encourage the search for the good and the beauty in music through formal study and consistent exposure to a variety of fine aesthetic experiences.
3. To acquaint students with the physical properties of sound, the theoretical aspects of music found in nature, and the compositional procedures developed from universal natural principles.

These objectives are realized by means of a well-established music curriculum, a highly trained music faculty and many varied performance opportunities.

The Department of Music is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music and the Missouri Association of Departments and Schools of Music. Courses and degree plans are designed to satisfy requirements of these accrediting agencies.
