Sharing the Light through Music

The BYU School of Music seeks truth and inspiration in music.
We strive to lead in the performance, teaching, composition, production, and understanding of music; to serve the university and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and to share light throughout the world by teaching truth and edifying souls through the divine gift of music.
