School of Music Student Organizations

Student organizations are vital to the successful operation of the School of Music and to the attainment of excellence as an artistic enterprise. The following student organizations have national affiliations, perform many services for the school, and represent student interests.

Membership in one or more of the above organizations is highly recommended. These organizations are important contributors to the vitality of the school. In addition, they can function as an important personal support system, a source of lasting personal and professional friendships, and a significant avenue for growth.

If you are a recognized SHSU School of Music Organization you must complete the SHSU School of Music Student Organization Acknowledgement form each semester. This required form must be completed per your student organization president or an appointed member and is also required for the scheduling of any reoccurring meeting space or the atrium.
