Hardin-Simmons University

Being a musician is our calling and profession and we work together

as colleagues and teachers to help each student achieve success. You will

find caring and talented faculty, nice facilities, and a Christian environment

to help you reach your dreams as a musician. I want to encourage to take

advantage of your college years by working hard, building relationships, and

staying dedicated to excellence. Your success as a musician requires

individual as well as collective experiences. The individual requirements

include attending class, practicing consistently, and remaining prepared for

all your applied lessons. The collective experience comes from playing in

band, singing in choir, performing on stage with other musicians, and

working together with other students and faculty. This makes your life as a

musician somewhat polyphonic where the melody of your life works both

independently and congruently with other melodies and other lives.
