Music Study at Presbyterian College prepares students for a professional life in music, enhances a liberal arts education, provides life-long service, and creates opportunities combined with other majors and minors.
PC offers a Music major and a Music minor. All students can participate in music classes, lessons, and ensembles no matter if they are a beginner or highly experienced and are welcome to audition to receive a music scholarship.
The PC Music Department will host the Thirty-fifth PC Piano Clinic on February 24-25, 2023. The clinic is for piano students (grades 6-12) and teachers. Featured events include student masterclasses (solo and ensemble repertoire), lectures, and recitals. See the attached brochure for details. For more information or questions, contact Dr. Karen Buckland (artistic director and chair of the department) at 864.833.8467 or kbuck@presby.edu.
The Department of Music seeks talented musicians to join their various ensembles through an audition. The music auditions are intended to gauge students’ interest in the PC music program and not to offer additional aid. Merit-based and music scholarships cannot be combined. The ensembles that you can participate in as early as your first year on campus include:
Bagpipes Ensemble
Bands (PC Wind Ensemble, PC Chamber Winds, and PC Jazz Band)
Musical Theatre
Opera
Percussion Ensemble
Piano Ensemble
Strings Ensembles (Duos, trios, quartets, and quintets)
Vocal Ensembles (PC Choir and all-men and all-women choirs)
