Willamette Academy is an academic program that reaches out to historically underrepresented communities by empowering youth who have the desire and potential to advance to higher education.
Designed to address a number of factors that may discourage certain students from attending college or otherwise impede their academic progress, the academy is committed to helping students achieve at a level that will enable them to attend the four-year college or university of their choice.
Willamette's Music Department offers students a program of rigorous and intensive training in specialized music disciplines combined with music core courses in theory, history and literature all within a broad spectrum of courses in other liberal arts disciplines. For the major and non-major alike, the department offers music study and performance through individual instruction, chamber music, large ensembles and general music courses, many of which meet the fine arts requirement of Willamette University's general education program.
