Certificate in Music Performance

For our most devoted musicians and composers - whether they are considering a professional career, or simply wishing to realize their full potential as artists - we offer a certificate program in music performance which gives students the framework and resources to immerse themselves in private study. Over the years, numerous graduates of the program have gained entrance to top conservatories and have gone on to successful performing careers. For others, the program has served as a way to reach the highest level of musical excellence and fulfillment for its own reward.

Certificate in Jazz Studies

The Program in Jazz Studies is dedicated to providing an educational forum for the study of the performance practices and rich cultural legacy of jazz. It provides student performers and composers (and others interested in the tradition) with the opportunity to study jazz by way of a wide range of course offerings, and to perform in one of the many jazz ensembles, participate in master classes, study privately, and to pursue independent projects. Jazz performers are welcome to pursue both a Certificate in Jazz Studies, and a Certificate in Music Performance.
