Bachelor of Music in Sacred Music - Voice in Knoxville United States | University of Tennessee, Knoxville

The College of Music aims to deliver exceptional training in musical disciplines while fostering innovation and scholarly work across composition, education, music history, teaching methods, performance, and music theory. Through this mission, the college enhances musical experiences for its students, the broader university population, and Tennessee residents. Prospective music students (both first-year and transfers) must complete an applied music audition and theory assessment. Those pursuing music education, music history, or music theory/composition must also interview with relevant faculty. Official music major status requires passing the audition and, where applicable, finishing the interview. A theory placement test is also administered, with results guiding course assignments in both practical and theoretical studies. These evaluations should occur during a campus visit before classes commence. Prospective students should arrange these appointments well in advance, preferably before summer orientation. Music education candidates follow identical audition processes as performance majors. After their second year or upon completing prerequisite coursework, students undergo an interview with the Admissions Board. Successful candidates gain entry to the Teacher Education Program, qualifying them for advanced education courses.
