Welcome Alumni
Stop by the booth to say Hi and collect your DUQ alumni sticker! We want to know what you've been up to recently and we have fun and easy ways you can share your story. Also, we have information to share about the Summer Music Series which features overnight camps for students entering grades 9–12 next year as well as professional development for music educators.

Experience Being an MPSOM Student
Take a Trial Lesson
You can apply to the Mary Pappert School of Music and take a free lesson with our award-winning faculty (online or in-person). Prepare for your audition while getting to know your future teacher. Ask them questions about what to expect on audition day and what to work on as you practice and prepare for your audition.
Sign Up for a Summer Music Camp
Every summer, the Mary Pappert School of Music and City Music Center of Duquesne University team up to offer a variety of summer camps, workshops, and intensives. This year's camps include piano, vocal, jazz, and music technology options. And, you can get the real college student experience and stay on campus all week long!
Attend a Preview Day
Every year, the Mary Pappert School of Music offers several "Preview Days" that are specific to degree tracks and/or applied areas. Want to know what it's like to study Music Education, specifically? We've got a preview day for that.
