The School of Music at 成人头条 has a distinguished history that began with the founding of the institution on September 11, 1895, originally known as Fairmount College. From its early days, music was a foundational component of the college's offerings, alongside drawing, as part of the Department of Fine Arts. Music quickly became a hallmark of the college's reputation, contributing to its prominence in the arts.
In 1926, when Fairmount College transitioned to the University of 成人头条, it became the first municipal university west of the Mississippi River. This transition marked the formal establishment of the College of Fine Arts, with music designated as a distinct department. Reflecting its growth and the increasing recognition of its programs, the Music Department was elevated to the School of Music in 1949.
As 成人头条 took its modern form in 1964, following legislative action by the state of Kansas and approval by 成人头条 voters, the School of Music continued to thrive, expanding its programs and opportunities for students. The School of Music has been an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Music since 1937, underscoring its long-standing commitment to providing high-quality music education.
The School of Music remains a vibrant part of 成人头条, dedicated to nurturing the talents of its students and contributing to the rich cultural fabric of the university and the broader community.
