Dr. Robert Groves combines thorough research with personal insights for an engaging record of the rise of music as a field of study at NDSU. From its beginnings with mid-1890s campus music clubs, to the formation in 1903 of an official Department of Music, up to the designation of the School of Music in 2012 and beyond, Groves brings the history of the Challey School of Music to life. Featuring more than 200 photos capturing the past century of student musicians and faculty, Music at NDSU is filled with historical high notes sure to resonate with readers.
The book is available for purchase through NDSU Press.
