"I was attracted to Belhaven because its one of the few performing arts schools in the country that operates with more than just a nod to the Christian perspective. Belhaven has equipped me to teach, direct, perform, choreograph, compose and work in music ministry."

"I chose to attend Belhaven because of of the awesome community and music department. I am a stronger musician, a better friend, and have a better relationship with God because of Belhaven."

Jordan Locke

"Because of my degree from Belhaven University, I am...A stronger musician. A prepared teacher. A stronger Christian. A happy student."

Ella Castro

"The faculty of the music department genuinely care about the education and well-being of each of their students. The violin professor pushes for excellence, musical expression, and being adequately prepared to make it in the music world. In addition, he always teaches with enthusiasm and kindness. Because of the smaller size of the department, it is easy to make connections that provide opportunities for experiences and jobs."
