The Bluffton University is an All-Steinway Institution.
All-Steinway Institutions demonstrate a commitment to excellence by providing the best equipment possible for the study of music. That is why the only pianos owned by Bluffton — from the practice room to the recital hall — are designed by Steinway & Sons.
Yoder Recital Hall, a 300-seat performance facility, was built in 1996. Two harpsichords and a Baroque style pipe organ located in Yoder offer varied opportunities for keyboardists.
Mosiman Hall, home of the music department, contains three classrooms, a rehearsal/lecture hall and faculty teaching studios. The music library/listening center includes a collection of performance scores and provides facilities for up to 15 students to use the department's collection of CDs.
Mosiman Hall also houses the Advanced Media Studio which includes a complete state-of-the-art piano lab (Roland keyboards and visualizer), computers, CD and DVD burners, video and audio editing software, visual projection and a stereo sound system. A sophisticated collection of music software — such as Finale, Sibelius, Visual Music Tutor, Sonar 3, Project 5, MacGamut, a variety of softsynths and Media Tools — is available.
