UWRF Day of Music
On Wednesday, March 27, 2024, high school students are invited to spend the day on campus - and experience life as a music student at UW-River Falls. Teachers and parents are invited, too!
During the UWRF Day of Music, attendees will learn about music at UW-River Falls (auditions, degrees, ensembles, faculty, etc), attend classes, sit in on rehearsals, take an applied lesson, go on a campus tour, and more.
Please help us to spread the word by sharing this webpage - thanks!!
We look forward to spending the day with you!
