The UB Department of Music is where classroom knowledge meets real-world experience. Here, students can dive into department-sponsored ensembles, build hands-on skills through internships and gain targeted expertise with our micro-credential programs in music recording, production and piano tuning.
Buffalo’s vibrant music scene offers a wealth of opportunities for students to get immersed in all facets of the industry—from live performances to technical sound design to the business of music. The Department of Music is connected to some of the region’s most respected arts organizations including Buffalo String Works, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Art Park and the Pappy Martin Legacy Jazz Collective.
For students in the Music BA program, an internship is more than just a graduation requirement; it’s a chance to develop hands-on skills that only come from real-world experience. As you approach your final year, plan to discuss internship possibilities with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
We’re excited to offer two new micro-credential programs in Music Recording and Production and Piano Tuning. These short, focused programs equip students with in-demand skills in high-value fields guided by expert faculty and staff in the Department of Music. Questions? Reach out to the Director of Undergraduate Studies to explore how these programs can fit into your academic and career goals.
