Our close proximity to St. Louis allows students to take advantage of excellent musical opportunities and experiences beyond the classroom. The city has played an important role in the development of blues, jazz, and rock and roll and is home to internationally recognized music institutions such as the St. Louis Symphony, Jazz St. Louis and Opera Theater St. Louis.
