The Graduate Instrumental Arts Program combines academic and practical studies of music, with a strong emphasis on music as a means of engaging with, and serving, the broader community beyond the campus. Through this degree program, students develop the core value of music and musicians in service of society.

"We are so excited to welcome this new instrumental master's degree program to the range of degree offerings at the Bard Conservatory. The Instrumental Arts Program aims not only to deepen student's musical and instrumental skills but also to broaden their understanding of the role of music in civil society, and to develop their ability to connect with—and serve—the larger community through their art."
