Bachelor [Music Education] From California Baptist University

Beyond merely entertaining audiences, students are encouraged to engage passionately with their music—to truly communicate a mastery of experience and emotion. That's why in every class, every rehearsal, every performance, students are held to higher standards that will encourage them to develop and expand their God-given gifts and ultimately share them with others.

CBU's music classroom style is often referred to as conservatory—intimate, challenging and rigorous—but unlike typical music conservatories that preserve the past with a traditional repertoire, CBU's music is forward-looking to engage both musicians and audiences in the contemporary enjoyment of the art. The school's musical philosophy is driven by the idea of making connections: between the music and the performer, the performer and the audience.
