Continue your passion with a music minor
Songbirds, melomaniacs, and Mozarts of the 21st century, this is the minor for you. The only prerequisite for the music minor is a musical background and/or interest. Opportunities include teaching piano lessons, playing church organ, directing volunteer choirs, directing community musicals, and more. After experiences like that, you’ll be able to “toot your own horn” when interviewing for jobs in the music field.
