School of Music
Artistry and Innovation Share Center Stage
At the School of Music, students experience the best aspects of conservatory training and are encouraged to explore and develop extra-musical interests. Located within a top-tier research university, students can choose a more traditional, conservatory-style education or they can create their own educational path, integrating technology with performance, theory, history and composition.
