The abilities and talents of our music faculty are many and diverse. While devoted to the betterment of our students through teaching and co-curricular activities, each music faculty member is a practicing professional.
Small classes guarantee students more personalized instruction.
The same is true of academic and career advising as well as the coaching received as a member of one of IPFW's performance ensembles. Ensembles such as the Fort Wayne Community Band and the IPFW Community Orchestra have their home at IPFW and serve the larger community in their memberships. The music education program provides unique opportunities throughout the student's career to have real life observation and teaching experiences in area elementary, middle, and high schools prior to the senior semester of student teaching. The music department's Music Therapy Clinic provides music therapy majors opportunities to work with a variety of clients. Students who choose performance as their major have many opportunities to perform on and off-campus.
