The keyboard department at McMurry offers applied lessons in piano and organ. Five grand pianos, two practice organs, and one harpsichord are among the quality instruments on the McMurry campus. In addition, Radford Auditorium houses a 35-bell Fritson carillon. Applied organ students may choose to have their lessons on the recently renovated 41-rank, 1963 Aeolian-Skinner organ at the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest.

Students who wish to major in music can choose from two degree plans: Bachelor of Arts in Music with an emphasis in choral or instrumental; and Bachelor of Arts in Music with a minor in Music Education (emphasis choral or instrumental)

Students who are advanced pianists and organists can develop additional skills through studio and choral accompanying as well as through private study. For those music majors with a limited exposure to piano, class piano courses are designed to provide a good foundation for your music studies.
