"One of my greatest joys is to see a choir grow—to help them to develop musically to levels that they might have considered beyond their abilities.

Prospective Students
Dordt’s music program offers the best of two worlds. The department is large enough to offer those with professional interests courses and lessons taught by specialists, yet small enough to accommodate non-majors who want to participate because they love music. Our faculty includes 22 full-time and adjunct professors, all of whom are excellent musicians. Any student can find many opportunities to make music at Dordt. In fact, one-fifth of all Dordt students choose to participate in a musical group. Interested choral or instrumental students should submit an audition form. At Dordt, we encourage you to develop your musical interests because music is an important part of creation. Good music is the shaping of sounds and words in response to God's command to develop his world. Vocal and instrumental music are enjoyed as part of a life obedient to God, both speaking of our relationship to him and addressing other aspects of life in his good world. We want you to use your gifts in music to serve the body of believers and to enjoy music in community, whether music is your specialty or an avocation. 
If you are considering a music major, you can best prepare yourself by acquiring as much experience as you can in band, orchestra, choir, general music, and private instruction in keyboard, instruments, or voice. For more information about the music courses available at Dordt, please see the program overview. And be sure to apply for scholarships! |
