Music: Music Performance

With your Music Major with Music Performance Concentration, you can join other Ramapo alumni in establishing careers as solo artists, studio musicians, band members, songwriters, or in music education, music industry, music production, and live performance, among other options.

If you’re a vocalist, you’ll be encouraged to participate in one of Ramapo’s five vocal ensembles and have the chance to tour internationally. You can also get involved with the Musical Theater Workshop, which presents a staged showcase each year, perform in weekly on-campus open mic nights, in recitals and many other opportunities.

If you’re an instrumentalist, you’ll have opportunities to experience music making in contemporary, popular, classical, jazz, rock, and computer-interactive ensembles. Individual lessons with performer-teachers are available on campus for voice, guitar, bass, piano and strings. If you feel like taking off-campus instruction, that is also supported.

Ramapo Music Performance students have performed in professional music theater, opera, clubs, on recordings andhave participated in co-ops with MTV2, Sony Music Entertainment, Architekt Music, BMG Chrysalis, and East Side Sound.
