Nestled in the mountains of North Georgia, Young Harris College is a well-established and well-respected music program. With a small student body and low student-teacher ratio, you will receive personal attention, frequent encouragement, and extra assistance to hone your craft.  

Young Harris College faculty are well-respected musicians in their own right, so they can connect you to resources in the field and build your confidence both on and off stage. As you become engaged in our immersive four-year curriculum, your professors take a professional and personal interest in your success. With talented professors as your mentors, you’ll explore music from all sides to better understand your gift, goals and role as a musician. Faculty share their love for music in many ways. As a music student at Young Harris, you will travel to professional conferences, perform a multitude of special concerts, and attend several competitions.

Beyond the popular career paths of performing and teaching, a music degree opens myriad career options—because creativity is a valuable commodity. Our program is also designed to prepare you for other unique endeavors that will perpetuate and sustain the art of music in local and global communities in a variety of ways.
