I have heard a great deal about the Theater/Dance programs but have not seen anything posted about the instrumentals such as jazz band or wind ensemble. Does anyone have any insight or experience because the school sounds great for my D who is heavily involved in her high school music program and wants to continue her growth in college. Thank you in advance.
I know this is an old thread but I’d love some info on this too!
Ditto.
@lalalemma and @porcupine98 I can’t speak from personal experience about their instrumental music programs, but I did find this information from Muhlenberg’s website found at http://www.muhlenberg.edu/main/academics/music/. My daughter is a freshman at Muhlenberg this year and loves it. She is not involved in music or theater, though.
