Music courses include Private Voice Instruction, Private Piano Instruction, Music Appreciation, Music Theory, CB Singers, and World Music. These classes are open to all students; however, Private Voice Instruction, Private Piano Instruction, and CB Singers require auditions. Whether students have had previous music instruction or not they can find some course in music to fit their needs.

Every semester students perform in the CBU Concert Series. Recitals and concerts are presented on campus as well as in many venues in the Memphis area. The CB Singers perform several concerts each semester. Most recently they performed Handel's Messiah, with members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. Other works have included The Requiem by John Rutter, The Christmas Cantata by Daniel Pinkham and Requiem by Gabriel Faure.

A minor in Music Performance requires eighteen (18) credit hours, including MUSC 113 and 475, 3 hours of Private voice or Private Piano, CB Singers, and 6 hours of electives to be selected in consultation with the Fine Arts and Speech Department Chair.
