Professor with music students at a piano in Nordica auditorium performance hall

The Music program at the University of Maine at Farmington prepares you for a profession that expects more of musicians than simply mastery of instrumental technique.


The music profession increasingly needs musicians able to cross disciplinary boundaries, engage in changing technologies, and possess the intellectual foundation to understand music as more than simply performance. The UMF Music program does exactly those things.

It is also a gateway to alternative types of study, such as an individualized major, where you can design a program tailored to your interests; or a double major, such as the combination of Music and Creative Writing, as a step toward a career in music journalism.

Save more than $5,500 per year in tuition. This University of Maine at Farmington program qualifies for the NEBHE Tuition Break.

Through the NEBHE Tuition Break program, students from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont receive a $5,670 tuition discount on all UMF degree programs.
