Undergraduate Music Auditions
The Division of Music at Bob Jones University is a community of students and faculty committed to pursuing and sharing the beauty of God through musical excellence and redemptive artistry.
Come Make Music with Us!
Do you love making music with others — in a band, orchestra or choir — or have you wanted to learn to play an instrument? We encourage you to consider the opportunities you have as a BJU student to take music lessons and/or participate in music groups. Come to the Gustafson Fine Arts Center and audition. We want to meet you and make sure you are registering for the correct level, answer your questions and let you know what to expect. We look forward to seeing, hearing and having you with us!
Music instruction is available to all full-time students at BJU. There is no cost for music majors. Non-majors have a lesson fee. All students desiring to take music lessons must audition.
