Longy School of Music of Bard College
longy.eduThe Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts, prepares students to become the musicians the world needs them to be. Its unique Catalyst Curriculum gives students the skills, knowledge, and experience to engage new audiences, teach anyone, anywhere—and make a difference with music. Students graduate as professionals, with real-world experience, thanks to extraordinary performing, teaching, and career opportunities with Longy faculty and artistic partners in the vibrant city of Boston (and beyond). Longy offers studies in piano, strings, composition, brass, woodwinds, historical performance, jazz, vocal studies, and contemporary music. Students can choose from programs including a master of music degree, artist diploma, undergraduate diploma, or bachelor of music in partnership with Emerson College.
Longy’s new online master of music in music education can be completed in one or two years, and builds on Longy’s decade of expertise in preparing musicians to be teachers through its campus-based degree programs, including the in-person MM/MEd degree in Cambridge. Whether students are passionate about music or social change—or both—Longy is the place to turn enthusiasm into action. As students explore, define, and amplify their talent, they discover new ways to change lives and impact communities through music.
