Spend The Day With Us!

Register below to join us for a shadow visit and  learn more about UNH Music

The Department of Music has opportunities for music majors and non-music majors alike. If you are interested in majoring in music, experience a day in the life of a music major at the University of New Hampshire. You will observe classes and rehearsals, ask questions of current students and faculty, and take a tour of the music facilities. Prospective music majors may also be able to take a complimentary lesson with a studio teacher on your primary instrument or voice. These can be scheduled independently of your visit.
