Mission
The Sam Houston State University School of Music exists as a community of musician-educators whose mission is:
- To educate and train students for lives of service and contribution — as teachers, performers, composers, therapists and scholars;
- To provide and nurture a nucleus of musical life for the larger community;
- To educate the university student population regarding music’s intrinsic value as a part of the human experience and its central role in human culture;
- To mutually encourage one another in professional growth and attainment.
Our mission encompasses a variety of programs and curricula, traditional and innovative which are regularly examined for effectiveness, quality and relevance. It includes our commitment to a combination of:
- Classroom studies in music;
- The live performance of music both individually and collectively, as central to music study, development and knowledge.
As an integral part of our mission, we commit ourselves to continuing steps toward realizing the full potential of community, both as teachers and as colleagues; further, we commit to interaction with our students that emphasizes personal attention and interest in their total musical/intellectual development.

Highlights
All music majors receive training in applied music, music theory, music history, and, where appropriate, professional training specific to a particular field. Each student receives private instruction in his or her principal applied area (such as piano, trumpet, or voice), participates in musical ensembles (such as wind ensemble, orchestra, choir, or jazz band), and is afforded a multitude of opportunities to grow and develop as a musician. Students develop keyboard skills in a state-of-the-art piano lab and have their musical training enhanced in a Computer Assisted Instruction lab.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the School of Music are successfully employed around the state, the nation, and internationally as:
- music educators
- music therapists
- music performers
- music scholars
- music composers
- music industry leaders
Student Organizations
Numerous student organizations actively promote enrichment across a wide array of musical interests.
American Choral Directors Association — national organization for choral directors
American String Teachers Association/Symphony Association — the group’s membership consists of string students at Sam Houston State University and was organized to support string pedagogy on the SHSU campus.
Music Educators National Conference — national organization for music education. Membership in this student chapter is open to music education majors.
Mu Tau Omega — student organization for music therapy. Membership open to interested students committed to the study and/or advancement of music therapy in community, educational, and clinical settings.
Phi Mu Alpha — international music fraternity for men. Provides valuable service to the school and community.
Pi Kappa Lambda — national music honor society. Invitation to membership is limited to the top students from the junior, senior, and graduate classes by vote of the faculty members of Pi Kappa Lambda.
Sigma Alpha Iota — international music fraternity for women. Provides valuable service to the school and community.
Tau Beta Sigma — national band sorority. Supports band studies and provides valuable support service to instrumental ensembles and to the school.
Internships
Following the completion of all coursework, the music therapy student must fulfill a 900-1040 hour (five-six month) clinical internship at an AMTA national roster internship site or an SHSU university-affiliated internship site. The intern must be supervised on-site by a qualified and approved MT-BC supervisor. The internship is the final requirement for graduating with the bachelor’s degree in music therapy. Once it has been completed, the individual is eligible to sit for the board certification examination. A passing grade on the exam will result in board certification and the credentials MT-BC.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available both from the School of Music and from the University to support student study. For more information regarding scholarships, prospective or current students should contact the Director of the School of Music. Information on University scholarships may be obtained at the Office of Financial Aid or by telephone (936) 294-1672. Interested persons may also gather more information from the School of Music website.
Music scholarships are awarded for participation in ensembles. All students awarded a music scholarship are required to perform in ensembles. Scholarship students will audition and perform in ensembles as required.
Program Specific Requirements
General Requirements for Music Majors — Students desiring to major in music must have previous musical experience.
Audition — All students entering the School of Music as music majors or minors must audition in their major performance area and be accepted for a specific degree plan (e.g. Bachelor of Music: Performance, Music Education/Teacher Certification, Composition; Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy, music minor). Music therapy majors must also schedule and pass an interview with the Director of Music Therapy.
Grades — Students must receive a grade of “C” or better in all courses required in the major. If they receive a grade lower than a “C” they will be placed on academic probation until they retake the course with the “C” or better grade.
Jury — All students enrolled in applied classes (private studio instruction) must take jury examinations at the end of each semester.
Ensemble — All students enrolled in applied classes should perform in an ensemble.
Sophomore barrier — Before students majoring in music are allowed to enroll for 300-level courses in applied music, they must pass a proficiency examination/barrier. The exam is normally administered at the end of their fourth semester of study. NOTE: students are given/allowed three opportunities to pass the barrier. If they do not pass by the third attempt, they cannot continue as music majors.
Piano proficiency — Students must pass a proficiency examination in piano. Students who do not have the requisite skills may enroll in piano classes. Completion of the piano classes with a grade of “C” or better meets the skills requirement for the piano proficiency.
Concert attendance — Students are required to attend 12 performances (from a specified list) each semester for six semesters in all undergraduate Bachelor of Music major tracks. Transfer students may receive a credit or waiver for up to three semesters. Details of this requirement are printed in the School of Music Student Handbook.
Large ensemble — Enrollment in a large ensemble is expected of full-time music majors each fall and spring semester. Music therapy majors must enroll in an ensemble for 6 semesters. The minimum requirement is seven semesters for B.M. Music Education/Teacher Certification track; eight semesters for other B.M. tracks; and six semesters for Music Therapy majors.
- For piano principals (non-performance majors), Collaborative Piano (ENS 110 <MUEN 1110>/310 <3110>) will satisfy a portion of this requirement.
- For piano performance majors, Collaborative Piano (ENS 110 <MUEN 1110>/310 <3110>) satisfies the major ensemble requirement.
- Further details are printed in the School of Music Student Handbook.
- Freshmen and sophomore students enroll in 100 <1000> and 200 <2000>-level ensembles; juniors and seniors enroll in 300 <3000> and 400 <4000>-level ensembles.
