About the School
The School of Music is one of three vibrant schools within the J.T. & Margaret Talkington
College of Visual & Performing Arts at Texas Tech University. The SoM is dedicated
to creating a space for students, faculty, staff, alumni and community partners to
genuinely inspire others through their passions and art. This plan has been developed
from the ideas, collaborations, and strategic goals of the collective School of Music
and reflects the feedback received in order to position the School of Music as a leading
music program across Texas, the United States, and the world.
