Music at Gordon isn’t just sitting in class all day—it's teaching and observing in local schools. It’s moving out of the practice room and onto the stage at Symphony Hall. It’s mentoring a fourth-grade trumpet student in an after school program. It’s developing the skills and training necessary for success.
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!”
