Student Experience
Music students at USF work hard and play hard. Serious music students understand that
excelling at their craft requires hours of dedicated work in individual and group
settings. The ability to work on phrases, passages, techniques, and masterworks until
they are perfected is required by everyone seeking a life filled with music making.
USF equips music students with the tools to take personal responsibility for their
educational, musical, and professional success. One of our core missions is to prepare
students for music making in an ever-evolving modern society.
The USF music community is collaborative and close-knit. Our students share a passion
and drive for musical excellence, while creating personal and professional relationships
they will treasure for the rest of their lives. Our students and faculty are knowledgeable,
passionate, creative, supportive, and encouraging. While music is at the forefront
of our students' lives, there are numerous social organizations and opportunities
where they form deep and lasting relationships with their classmates and professors
