Welcome Message

Welcome to the Department of Music at the University of Ghana, a vibrant hub for musical excellence, innovation, and cultural heritage. As the Head of the Department, I am honoured to lead a community of passionate scholars, talented performers, and dedicated educators committed to advancing music education, research, and performance.

For over six decades, our department has played a pivotal role in shaping the musical landscape of Ghana and beyond. Rooted in tradition yet embracing contemporary global trends, we offer a rich and diverse curriculum that spans African and Western classical music, jazz, popular music, music technology, ethnomusicology, composition, and dance. Our programs are designed to nurture creativity, critical thinking, and professional expertise, equipping students with the skills needed to excel in various musical careers.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to transformative student experiences, impactful research, and strong community engagement. Through collaborations, performances, workshops, and outreach programs, we continue to uphold the University of Ghana’s vision of being a world-class institution dedicated to knowledge creation and national development.

Whether you are a prospective student seeking a dynamic learning environment, a researcher exploring the rich musical traditions of Ghana, or an artist looking for a platform to express your creativity, the Department of Music welcomes you. I invite you to explore our programs, connect with our faculty, and be part of our ever-growing musical family.

Together, let us harmonize tradition and innovation for a brighter future in music.
