What's New

The UWSP Department of Music was thrilled to “see our name in lights” when we learned of our inclusion in “The Best Music Schools 2011 Special Report.” The report appeared in the October 2010 issue of In Tune Magazine, a publication of MENC, the National Association for Music Education. The report focused on schools that have achieved technological innovations in their curricula. UWSP is in exalted company: other schools on the list of “Best Music Schools” include The Eastman School of Music, The Juilliard School, Oberlin Conservatory, The University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, The University of Michigan, and Northwestern University! (The only other Wisconsin school mentioned was UW-Madison. A total of 43 schools around the country were included on the list.) The report said that “The University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point points to its Musicianship program’s unique integration of computer and recording technology with traditional teaching techniques.”
