Snow College
excellence in music has garnered a partnership with Juilliard School of Music
in New York. The Snow
College Music Faculty represent many of the finest music schools in
world. Our faculty are alumni of the Juilliard School of Music, Berklee College of Music, Eastman School of Music, Manhattan School of
Music, University of North Texas, University of Miami, University of
Northern Colorado, Indiana University, Michigan State, as well as alumni
of our beloved Utah State University, Brigham Young University, and the
University of Utah . Likewise, the Snow College Music Department
facility is one of the finest facilities in the state of Utah. Now
headed-up by Vance Larsen (Dean of Fine Arts and retired Lieutenant
Colonel for the United States National Guard), the Snow College Music
Department presses ahead to be fully accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and is the only two year college
in the state of Utah that can claim this honor and distinction.
Snow College is also officially an "All Steinway" school and therefore
is fully furnished with gorgeous pianos throughout the building.
With the cost of tuition at Snow College being so much cheaper than
other colleges; with Snow College being one of the safest campuses in
the nation; and, with the Snow College Music Department having a
world class faculty and facility, why go anywhere else?
Our summer music camps and
workshops
are some of the finest in the nation
