Music at Northwestern has a long and proud heritage of serving the college and the greater Twin Cities area through its preparation of students to serve in their homes, churches, and communities through Christian leadership. We believe that music is a gift from God and it is our responsibility, individually and collectively, to use that gift in ways that honor Him. Thus, our programs are rigorous, challenging each student to grow intellectually, musically and spiritually, not for personal gain, but to promote the Kingdom of God here on Earth.

The Northwestern College Department of Music teaches, mentors, and equips students to think, perform, lead and worship with creativity and conviction, to the glory of God.
