We welcome you to the Greatbatch School of Music, Houghton University. The Music Student Handbook is your guide to important information that you need to know as a music student.

Graduate students should also familiarize themselves with the Graduate Bulletin, which pertains specifically to the policies and procedures of the graduate program. If any information in the Music Student Handbook conflicts with that found in the Graduate Bulletin, please follow those policies outlined in the Graduate Bulletin.

Please review this document carefully, paying particular attention to information about Facilities & Equipment, Procedures, Policies, the Music Library, and Recitals.

This document is usually reviewed and updated annually.  Familiarize yourself with it each year, as this is your main reference for pertinent music major information, major practices, and policies.  Neglecting to read and follow it will NOT excuse you from any resulting omissions or mistakes in your studies or programming.

If your concern or question is not addressed here, always feel free to ask questions of the main music office or music@houghton.edu.

It is our prayer that your years here will be an exciting, growing, joy-filled time for you.
