Welcome to Sonoma State!

We are excited to be planning for our fall semester. In choosing the fall schedule we worked to create a balance of remote and face to face instruction to best support our students. The Department of Music is pleased to announce that for the Fall 2021 semester we plan to offer all of our courses for Music Majors in-person.

Our experiences in Spring 2021 have taught us how to run rehearsals and other meetings with the proper distance and PPE, and in Fall 2021 we will continue to observe the most up-to-date protocols. For more information and resources regarding COVID-19, please visit the SSU COVID-19 site.
