The talented musicians we attract want high caliber music training with excellent teachers, frequent performance opportunities, and great facilities. They want to participate in their school's top ensembles, so we deliberately limit our admissions numbers. Because we are selective, our students study and perform with musicians who are equally dedicated. The student-to-faculty ratio of 4:1 provides numerous opportunities to get to know and to work closely with the world-class musicians on our faculty.

Acceptance Rate:

The Vanderbilt University Blair School of Music has an acceptance rate of approximately 20%.


Faculty Info:

Jeremy Wilson, Ji Hye Jung, Mat Britain, Patrick Kunkee, Nick Laufer, Gilbert A. Long, Leslie Norton, Jose Sibaja, W. Lee Vinson.
