Nebraska Wesleyan University

Music enriches lives at Nebraska Wesleyan University. We delight in our students’ unique talents, and we invite you to join us in the study and performance of music on our campus.

NWU is a welcoming place where we encourage all students to audition for music scholarships, which support music majors and non-majors alike. Courses like “Rock Band,” “Composition for Film and Video Games,” and “World Drumming” offer a compelling counterpoint to our array of conservatory-style offerings in conducting, theory, music history, music education and opera.

Your performance experiences at NWU may include private study in vocal and instrumental music, chamber music, and large ensembles such as symphonic band and University Choir, as well as jazz choir, jazz band, and pep band. NWU’s choir and band tour domestically each year and internationally every few years.

Nebraska Wesleyan’s students and faculty are active musicians engaged in performance opportunities across our community. They also flourish in other NWU departments, like our thriving theatre and musical theatre programs.

Whether you want to sing, play, compose, study, or teach—NWU is the place where your music matters.
