The mission of the Bethany College Music Department is to nurture, challenge and guide developing musicians, to train the future educators for both classroom and studio areas, and to provide performance opportunities for students, faculty, and community members. In addition, we strive to educate and engage audience members in the central Kansas region and beyond.

Bethany College distinguished music faculty have been trained at some of the finest music schools in the world. Many maintain active performing careers in addition to their busy teaching schedules. Within a community of faith and creative learning, they seek to cultivate musical excellence and promote spiritual and intellectual growth.
