Bachelor of Music in Performance - Strings

University of Texas - Arlington

Music at UT Arlington is rapidly emerging as one of the top programs in North Texas. Our recent curriculum expansion to include the Master of Music degree and the Certificate in Performance further extends opportunities for professional development. Led by a group of well-respected performers, the String Area is currently experiencing a period of unprecedented growth. The string faculty is committed to providing quality individual instruction and guidance to students in their pursuit of a music career.Besides the individual instruction, opportunities to play in orchestra and chamber ensembles are available to both undergraduate and graduate students. The principal performing group is the UTA Symphony Orchestra, which presents a full season of concerts consisting of major works from the standard orchestral repertoire. Although a majority of its members are music majors, there are positions available for those majoring in other fields. In addition to the orchestral ensembles, selected students may participate in the chamber music program. These small ensembles explore string trio, quartet, and quintet literature, including works with piano and instruments from the brass and woodwind families.
