Music Lessons and Ensembles

Denison’s Music Department offers many opportunities in music performance. They provide private lessons for all instruments, group lessons in voice, piano, and guitar, a wide variety of ensembles, and courses in music history, theory, bluegrass, and computer music.

The department serves the greater liberal arts mission of Denison by providing these opportunities not just to those pursuing degrees in music, but to all of our student body. The department takes great pride in providing students who fulfill degrees in the sciences, humanities, or elsewhere the ability to continue their love of music throughout their college experience. So whether planning dedicated study in music itself, or seeking to enrich your college experience through music while preparing for a career in another field, the Music Department hopes you consider being a part of all the great music happening on campus.

It’s an exciting time for the Music Department at Denison, as they took up residency in the newly constructed Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts in the Fall of 2019. This state-of-the-art facility has more than 25 teaching studios, performance venues of different sizes and types, rehearsal spaces large and small for all of the various ensembles, and ample practice facilities for students available 24 hours a day.

Descriptions of all ensembles and directors, along with a complete faculty listing, can be found by searching Music at denison.edu. The department encourages reaching out individually to those directors and instructors for information on lessons, ensembles, and audition processes.

The department hopes you will keep your musical interest alive through enrollment in lessons, ensembles, courses, and by attending the many music department concerts and events at Denison, all of which are free to the Denison community.
