The School of Music at Ball State University is dedicated to providing innovative, high-quality undergraduate and graduate education in music, both in a liberal arts and professionally authentic context. The student-centered nature of our School enables and encourages students to transform knowledge into action, achieve exceptional artistic goals with courage and integrity, engage with others in impactful ways, and share the joy and appreciation of music with the University community, our city, state, nation, and the world.

Please donate to the Ball State University Singers fund on One Ball State Day! Proceeds raised for University Singers on One Ball State Day will be used to help University Singers fund future travel in an effort to honor the life and legacy of our dearly departed alum, Jan Richard, who passed away in November of 2024. She was a member of the original ensemble of University Singers and was an avid supporter of the group for its sixty-year existence. She also loved to travel with the group. University Singers would like to encourage alumni and supporters to give on this OBSD to the University Singers to honor Jan's legacy and to help future casts travel and share their music of Faith, Hope, Laughter, and Love as Indiana's Official Goodwill Ambassadors.
