Aspiring Music Majors Program

Aspiring Music Majors is a one-day program for students in Grades 9-12 who may be interested in pursuing music as a career and/or college major or minor. Students have the opportunity to: visit music representatives from Wisconsin and Midwest universities, colleges, and music industries; take in special conference sessions, performances and exhibits; and get advice from current music majors.

Do you know of an aspiring high school student who is considering music as a major in college?

Encourage students in Grades 9-12 to attend the Aspiring Music Majors Program held on Friday of the Wisconsin State Music Conference.  This student flyer can be duplicated and shared.
