The Music emphasis offers coursework for a broad range of students, from those who aspire to a musical career, to those who wish to develop their vocational interests in music. Students taking music classes are exposed to and involved in the creative process. The program introduces them to a wide array of music in music courses offered and provides an opportunity to perform in community band, jazz band, chamber choir, and musical theatre productions. Private instruction is also available for voice, piano, and most instruments.

Your music education at Northland is an exciting blend of private lessons, music laboratories, classes, ensembles and performances. Performance groups tour schools and communities in the region and travel abroad. In the summer of 1998, the College and community band had the opportunity to perform in Sydney, Australia and in 2005 the Community Band traveled to Dublin, Ireland and London, England and took part in the London International Wind Band Festival. Yearly trips and events are planned to make your Northland music experience memorable.

Music is one of the oldest disciplines in the liberal arts, and thus represents one of the traditional fields of knowledge. Integration with the other disciplines is evident within the department, for music brings people in contact with dance, great literature such as drama and poetry, historical and sociological trends, and religious and philosophical ideas.
