Many Wichita State students arrive with strong musical backgrounds but step away as academic demands increase. Faculty and staff can play an important role in reminding students that they do not have to leave music behind.
The School of Music offers ensemble opportunities open to students from all majors who want to continue singing or playing while pursuing their degrees. All ensembles include zero credit options, allowing students to participate without increasing their tuition or academic load.
Available ensembles include athletic bands, concert bands, choirs, jazz bands, opera theater and the Symphony Orchestra. Participation supports student well-being, fosters belonging and provides a creative outlet alongside coursework.
A simple reminder — “You can still do music here” — can help students reconnect with an important part of themselves.
