Welcome to the Wingate University Department of Music! We celebrate both our rich tradition of music-making and our important work of cultivating leaders in the field of music. As we recognize our student's diverse backgrounds, gifts and talents, we guide them to excel in all that they do. From Grammy winners to teachers widely-recognized for their success; from church music leaders to music industry professionals, our alumni show evidence of the impact that a Wingate education has had on them. We encourage you to explore our offerings and come visit us on campus to see for yourself.
