What begins here can take you anywhere. 📯

At Southeast Missouri State University our students don’t just earn degrees — they build careers, relationships, confidence, experience and lifelong artistic foundations.

We’re proud of 2016 SEMO Horn alumnus Jordan Redd who was named the Distinguished Young Alumnus and even more proud of the journey that started right here in the SEMO Horn Studio. From meaningful performance opportunities and individualized mentorship to real-world professional preparation, Jordan’s story reflects what’s possible when students are challenged, supported, and inspired.

If you’re looking for a place where you can grow as both a musician and a person, we’d love for you to see what SEMO Horns is all about.

Check out Jordan’s story here and sign up for more info at the link in our bio.
