What can YOU do with Music at NMU?

At NMU your opportunities to get involved in music-making are boundless. All performing ensembles are open to qualified students regardless of major. March with the “Pride of the North”, the Wildcat Marching Band, perform with the Symphonic Band or University Orchestra, or swing with the NMU Jazz Band. There are plenty of exciting choral and vocal activities as well. Traditional choral groups include the University Choir, the Marquette Choral Society, and the Arts Chorale, a select mixed ensemble. Popular and contemporary music is sung by Northern Lights, a student-led a cappella group. Got the Theatre itch? Audition for opera productions and musicals; auditions are open to all NMU students. Sign up for private instrumental or voice lessons with full-time faculty, even if you’re not a music major. Attend fabulous concerts and recitals without charge in the Reynolds Recital Hall, one of the finest performing venues in the Midwest. If you choose to major in Music Education, you’ll be pursuing the most rewarding profession imaginable, and the department’s small student to faculty ratio means that you’ll have the personal attention and support of the most experienced and dedicated faculty anywhere.
