At the Longy School of Music, we are dedicated to the concept that accomplishment must not be divorced from the person—that musical education must engage the entire individual, going beyond training of hands or vocal cords. At Longy, your study is guided by an exceptional faculty, dedicated to the art of teaching and to your individual growth as a performer, teacher, creative being, and thinking musician. Here you will be challenged to reach beyond your highest artistic goals and encouraged to consider how you intend to transform the world.

Karen Zorn, President

Longy’s belief that all musicians are first and foremost individuals starts with the admissions process. Our intention is to treat every inquiry and application with care and respect, and to provide outstanding support to prospective students, as well as their parents, family members, and friends, as they move through the process of applying, auditioning, and making an enrollment decision.

Longy evaluates all applicants on their artistic and academic preparation, and on the results of their audition or portfolio review.

Applicants offered unconditional admission for the fall semester will be notified of scholarship awards by early April.
