Music

Whether you are interested in a major or minor in music education or performance, the music program places an emphasis on the development of your musical performance abilities. Many of Northeastern's faculty members have trained at some of the finest music schools and conservatories in the world. This level of knowledge and experience, along with your personal investment, will make your studio lessons second-to-none. Participation in musical ensembles is a requirement of all music students, as well as attendance at live performances each semester. All students seeking admission to the music program must perform a live audition.

Are you ready to explore the music program at Northeastern? Would you like to visit the campus or schedule an audition? Contact Sasha Gerritson, Scholarship and Recruitment Coordinator at (773) 442-5906.

Dance

The individually designed dance minor is comprised of technique classes in ballet, modern, jazz and Spanish dance. The student performance group, Repertory Dance Ensemble, performs choreography created by faculty, students and guest artists each semester. Other unique performance and learning opportunities are accessible through collaborative partnerships with the Ruth Page Center for the Arts and through the University’s in-residence dance company, Ensemble Español.

All students seeking admission to the dance program must demonstrate proficiency in dance through a live audition. Are you ready to explore the dance program at Northeastern?
