Student Organizations

Elmhurst sponsors vibrant chapters of several national organizations devoted to music business, music education, and performance. These groups offer a wide range of activities; for example, music students can participate in national conferences and job fairs, attend demonstrations and clinics given by top names right here on campus, and make connections in the industry before they graduate.
