This is your entry point into the department if you sing, play guitar, bass, piano, or drums. 

Right away, we’re going to get you playing in bands, performing numerous rock and pop classics. You’ll get to jam out on our professional-level equipment, learn how to rehearse your group, and build the band skills you need to rock out on stage. 

You’ll connect with our guest artists, pushing your instrumental skills to the next level and pulling together an understanding of how you can use theory to be an even better player.

Students record in our state-of-the-art studio, putting together professional tracks. IPW students perform many times throughout the year, including our semester concerts and at our annual show, Night of Blues.
