Connecting and changing lives through music
The music programs at Trinity attract students who know that music is a powerful medium to build community, to worship, and to understand the world. Taught from a Christian perspective, the programs allow students to explore wisdom, hospitality, and connections among ideas and disciplines. Students leave prepared to make a difference through music for the rest of their lives.
If you enjoy working with children and young adults, a music degree can prepare you for a rewarding career as a music educator. Another option is blending your love of music with your faith, and working as a worship leader in your congregation. You could also put what you learn in Trinity’s music program into practice as a performer, music producer, or another related role.
Since Trinity is located just 25 miles from downtown Chicago, you will be in the heart of a vibrant music scene that ranges from classical to blues, with everything in between.
