For All Musicians

Students of every major can use their musical talents in Corban’s music ensembles: Concert Band, Chamber Orchestra, Concert Choir, and Chamber Choir. Whether you are planning a career in music or would simply like to grow as a musician by participating in an ensemble or class, there is a place for you in our program.

For the Music Major

Our music graduates are equipped with professional skills and understanding of music theory, literature, history, and performance. They build up their musical abilities and explore ways to express their Christian faith through music. As students develop their creativity and aesthetic appreciation, they are led to consider the importance and role of beauty in the music-making process. All of this growth prepares graduates for effective service in their careers and beyond.
