Students have to audition to become a music major. Prospective students are not required to have prior musical experience for acceptance. The majority of student musicians are music majors, and most receive scholarships for their music activities. Scholarships vary. TU also offers a degree in commercial music in which students focus on popular, jazz, rock, hip-hop, and other commercial styles, and has received some recognition for its pop a cappella and vocal jazz groups, and for incorporating hip-hop performance into its music ensembles. All TU music majors have access 24 hours to Practice rooms. Most of the computers on campus can access free music notation and production software and have liberal access to the school's multiple digital audio workstations for both their academic and independent music production activities. The music department is run by Brad Rees.
