The CSU Fullerton School of Music has been training students for professions in music for more than fifty years. Our many successful alumni make a large footprint in classical and commercial music performance and teaching in Southern California, and the footprint extends in many directions throughout the United States and the world.
 
Our faculty’s primary focus is to teach music, and we do that with a great deal of personal attention for every music major.  At the same time, our faculty members are some of the finest performers and scholars in the world, some with world-wide reputations, and others whose work is centered in the vibrant Los Angeles arts and entertainment scene just miles from our campus.  The CSU Fullerton School of Music has been fully and continuously accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music since 1966.
