Inspired by the Lutheran liberal arts tradition of excellence in music, the Music Department provides a comprehensive education that challenges and prepares music majors for professional careers and graduate study. All students are offered the opportunity to study and perform in a nurturing environment that fosters integrity and integrates faith and learning in a diverse world. In addition to the full-time faculty listed above, the department employs over 20 part-time faculty members, most of whom are applied music specialists.

Opportunities for student participation are made possible in such diverse instrumental groups as the Augustana Band, College/Community Concert Band, College and Community Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Pep Band, Brass Choir, and Northlanders Jazz Band, Jazz Lab; and vocally in the Augustana Choir, Chamber Choir, Collegiate Chorale, Women’s Choir, and Opera Theatre Workshop. Students also participate in a variety of chamber music ensembles coached by members of the music staff. Aside from the campus setting, the city of Sioux Falls is a music center for a wide area. A number of Augustana students each year audition and perform in the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra Chorus, and the Sioux Falls Municipal Band. These groups provide student members valuable professional performing experience and also provide remuneration. The Symphony, the Community Concert Association, the Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues Society and the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science bring national and international guest artists and performing groups to capacity audiences. Many of these artists take the time to work with Augustana Music
students.
