Music Education, B.M.
Scholarships Music awards in varying amounts are available to qualified students. Complete information is available by writing: Director, Conservatory of Music, Biola University, 13800 Biola Avenue, La Mirada, CA 90639- 0001 or by emailing music@biola.edu. Music Degree Programs In order to graduate, music students must reach primary applied proficiency level standards designated for each degree program. Applied Music lessons are guided by faculty or studio artists who have expertise and professional experience in the voice or instrument under study. Studio artists are affiliated with Biola via independent contracts and thus do not undergo the same process for hire as do faculty. The studio artists are all highly competent individuals who appreciate Biola and endorse the goals of the Conservatory, but their theological conceptualization has not undergone the same close review as that of the faculty. For more information, see the Conservatory Office.
