Bachelor in Music

The Music Department at York College is passionate about exploring the body-mind-spirit connection and how faith and learning are integrated in such a way as to prepare students for life -- not just a profession. The York College Music Department offers skill and content courses to vocal performance and music education majors, through formal classroom instruction, field experiences, performance opportunities and directed study. These work together to prepare students for a future in their chosen vocation or graduate school, while adding to a life more enhanced by music.

While at York College, students have the opportunity to participate in various collegiate level ensembles. The Concert Choir has a long tradition of excellence and is the premier performing ensemble of the department. Celebration Singers is a show choir that offers students a chance to perform “entertainment music” of the highest caliber.

In addition to the ensembles, private instruction is offered in both voice and piano by highly qualified professors. The music department periodically joins forces with the theater department to produce musicals. The music department also provides the musical leadership for York College’s annual all-school musical variety show, Songfest.
