Music Department Preview Day

February 16, 2026, 1 - 5:30pm

Step into the shoes of a college music student at Austin Peay State University! Our Music Department Preview Day gives high school students the opportunity to:

• Explore our degrees

• Sit in on an ensemble rehearsal

• Hear our faculty perform a recital

• Ask your questions at a faculty Q&A

• Learn about auditions, scholarships, and the music major experience

This event is perfect for students considering music as a major or minor—or even those who are just curious about what life as a music student is like.

Location: APSU Department of Music
                Music and Mass Communications building

Can’t Make It? Visit On Your Own Schedule

If you can't attend the Student for a Day event, no worries—we’re happy to arrange an individual visit tailored to your interests. Individual music department visits will include much of the same experience as the Student for a Day event.

To request an individual visit to the Music Department, fill out this form and select "I cannot attend the Student for a Day Event, but I would like to plan a visit for another day" and someone will reach out to you to plan that visit.

Schedule a Campus Tour

We also recommend taking a general campus tour to get a feel for the broader student experience! Tours are led by Admissions and include residence halls, dining, academic buildings, and student life spaces.

Schedule a campus tour through our Admissions Office

If you're a passionate musician—or simply exploring your options—we'd love to meet you and show you what our department has to offer.
