Minor Options
Many students find a minor in music and participation in ensembles to be an enriching supplement to their primary studies. Whether it is to prepare you for your chosen career or you just enjoy doing and learning about music, completing a minor is a great way to be involved.
Minors in the Department of Music receive the same quality instruction and attention as do our majors.

These ensembles are non-auditioned groups open to anyone who wants to sing or play an instrument. For Radford University students, the course credit counts under the ‘E’ category for REAL. For local musicians who wish to join us for no course credit, this is an opportunity to perform quality music with a full ensemble. The ensembles are conducted by music faculty and will be a great opportunity for those who enjoy playing music in a relaxed but productive atmosphere!
