The Lipscomb University Department of Music prepares students for careers as choral directors, band directors, and general music teachers, and for graduate studies leading to careers in classical performance, private studio teaching, and college-level teaching. We also provide a general music minor and a church music minor, as well as opportunities for students to perform in vocal and instrumental ensembles.

Class of 2010 Passes ABRSM Grade 5 Theory Exam

Congratulations to Lipscomb's Class of 2010 music majors, all of whom passed the Grade 5 Theory Exam administered by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music! This exam is required as preparation for the Grade 8 Practical Exam, a performance-oriented examination that admits the student to candidacy for the ABRSM Diploma.  These students will be the first music graduates--not only at Lipscomb, but in the entire country--to receive this internationally-recognized Diploma as the capstone of their undergraduate education.
