The
School of Music
The
School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University is a stimulating,
vibrant, conservatory environment where talented performers, composers,
conductors and educators prepare
for professional careers in music. Instruction
is challenging, creativity is expected and the responsibility of
making music and training musicians is taken very seriously. At Carnegie
Mellon, we are proud of our history in which tradition and technology
co-exist. The
School of Music continues to graduate superb musicians who are known worldwide
as masters of their art.
The Program
Designed for rising high school Juniors
and Seniors, our six-week residential program will give you the
opportunity to see what
college is like. This is not high school and it is not camp. It
is as close to college as a high school student can get. You get to live
on campus, take classes with conservatory professors, play, rehearse,
perform and enjoy the freedom of college life in a safe environment.
The Faculty
The School of Music Pre-College program employs a core faculty composed of
professors, conductors, instructors and staff from its world-class conservatory
program. Joining the core faculty will be working professionals engaged especially
for the Pre-College program.
Our Expectations
Becoming a professional musician requires extraordinary talent and versatility.
The complete musician must be prepared to play jazz as well as classical
and contemporary repertoire. Students in every discipline are strongly encouraged
to reach their full potential: singers learn to act, dance and perform in
several languages; composers learn to rehearse their own works; pianists
learn to sight read and play chamber music. Music at Carnegie Mellon is more
than practicing an instrument -- it is an intense, exciting course of study,
experienced side by side with other young musicians who share similar goals
and aspirations.
