Music

Music occupies a prominent place at Mount Saint Mary’s University. Established in 1925, our Department of Music builds on a nearly century-long tradition of excellence, offering emphases in music performance, music history, music education, music industry, pre-music therapy and the opportunity to study in Los Angeles with some of our city’s finest musicians.

Small class sizes, world class performance venues and access to a rich variety of masterclasses and internships makes Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ an ideal place to follow your musical passion.
