It offers music majors the opportunity to study under the guidance of highly experienced and world renowned professors. The music school also offers a wide range of classes from beginning instrument lessons to advanced study of music theory. The students there live and breathe music. You can find students not only practicing, but also eating and sleeping in the lounges of Presser and Rock Halls. This is true sign of devotion to the music department. The work pays off though, throughout the year the music school plays a large number of performances. They have a show to fit every ones taste, from percussion ensembles to solo pianists. Besides having highly educated music instructors, students can also take advantage of all the musical aspects the city of Philadelphia has to offer, from the Philharmonic Orchestra to the late night jazz bars. Each music student has room to develop his or her unique style at Temple. -SaraShuman to miwc I
