Centered on Performance: Yes, you’ll be held to a high musical and personal standard. Yes, our students are frequently accepted to top-level graduate programs. But we’re real people, focused on developing musicians in an enriching and encouraging environment. As one faculty member proclaims: “We’ll hold your hand, but be ready to run fast!”
