Seton Hall University music majors are offered an exciting choice of courses in music history, theory and performance (voice and instrumental). Small classes and private lessons for majors and minors guarantee individual attention from a highly qualified faculty. Students attend professional concerts, both on and off campus, such as the Arts Council Concert Series and Jazz 'n The Hall. Seton Hall offers a high-quality, personalized education in music. Not only will you receive the benefits of intense professional exposure, but you will also earn a Bachelor of Arts degree that represents a well-rounded educational foundation. Music majors can choose between applied music (voice/keyboard/selected orchestral instruments) and comprehensive music (required for students seeking New Jersey certification in teaching music).

The music performance (vocal/keyboard/instrumental) major offers private lessons on your primary and secondary instruments, as well as classes in music history, theory, conducting and ensemble participation. You will play for faculty juries and in student recitals. An audition on your primary instrument is required for admission into the music performance program. Tests are offered for class placement and advanced standing, and in some cases may be required. A public senior recital is a requirement for graduation.
The comprehensive music major is designed for students interested in music education. Students are accepted in the College of Education and Human Services with a major in secondary education. All music education majors then declare a second major in music. Students begin field experience in their sophomore year and conclude student teaching in their final semester. Students are placed in the very best districts with outstanding music educators as mentors.

To graduate, students must successfully complete all coursework, including concerts, student recitals and a senior recital, as well as student teaching experience for those in the music education program.
