UCC Department of Music and Dance

Welcome to the website of the Department of Music and Dance at the University of Cape Coast. Since its inception in 1975 the Department has combined established practices with innovation, providing students with the artistic foundations of music and dance as well as encouraging them to explore new forms of creative expression. Our curriculum integrates music and dance performance, sound and movement studies, and general studies, fostering students’ intellectual and creative potential.
Our performing groups include African ensemble, choir, popular band, and brass band, and students can choose from a variety of musical instruments for their individual performance studies. In addition to applied music and courses in the theory and history of music and dance, the Department of Music and Dance at the University of Cape Coast is unique in also offering courses in music technology, film music, music business, music journalism, and dance tourism, among others.
The Department also runs a recording studio, offering services to the wider community and giving students the opportunity to acquire hands-on skills in music technology. To find out more about our courses and services you can send us an email. To keep in touch, you can also like us on facebook.
