Shenandoah Valley Preparatory Music became a program of EMU's department of music in 1988 and is dedicated to providing the highest quality music education to all students in the central Shenandoah Valley regardless of age, race, ability, financial circumstances, or ethnic origin through private and/or group instruction in a variety of musical areas as well as through performance settings.

Believing music can enrich everyone's life and is to be shared, performances are arranged in formal and informal settings on EMU's campus and throughout the community.
