Conservatory Admission: Visiting Longy

Welcome to Longy. Choosing the environment in which to further your musical 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 five music schools in Boston. Located in Cambridge, MA, we have approximately 220 conservatory students, 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 whether Longy is the right place for your continued growth as an artist. We look forward to personally introducing you to our school and discussing how Longy can meet your artistic goals. Scheduling a visit is a wonderful opportunity for you to tour our facilities, observe classes and rehearsals, and meet with faculty, staff, and students. Tours are available Monday through Friday.

Please contact Claire Raphaelson at to schedule a tour or to inquire about a trial lesson with a faculty member.
