The Department of Music at IUP has a rich history dating back to the founding of this institution over a hundred years ago.
A recently renovated Cogswell Hall includes state-of-the-art technology, expanded classroom and practice room spaces, a piano laboratory, rehearsal halls, and a well-appointed music library.
Graduates have gone on to distinguished careers in performance and education as well as other fields within the music profession. A current enrollment of more than 300 Music majors is served by a departmental faculty of 34. Such distinguished scholars and artists represent a wealth of academic and professional performing experiences. Numerous recitals featuring resident faculty members and visiting artists are presented throughout the year, and faculty chamber music ensembles perform regularly for the university and the Indiana community in addition to various national and international venues.
Designated an All-Steinway School, the department is a fully accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
