Welcome to Longy! Choosing the
environment
in which to further your music studies is a process
requiring a thorough knowledge of yourself as an
artist and student. In deciding what school fits
you best, examine your own successes as a student
and student-artist and look for schools that offer
a program that helps you succeed. We
are the most intimate of the 5 music schools in Boston.
Located in Cambridge, MA, our students number 200
at the conservatory level with one third of our incoming
class arriving from countries around the world. Being
a small conservatory, we are able to attract creative,
intelligent students who are looking for new ways
to communicate their music at the highest levels
of musicianship.
The Office of Admissions is dedicated to
helping you discover if Longy is the right place
for your continued growth as an artist. I look forward
to your visit,
-

“After my recent visit to Longy, I remember
thinking to myself that even if I didn’t get
accepted into this program what a wonderful and very
different experience it has been compared to the
many others I went through. ” –Catherine-Kerstine
