School of Music
Creating the Music of Tomorrow
For more than a century, the Yale School of Music has educated generations of performing artists, composers, and cultural leaders. As one of the world’s finest professional music schools, we seek the most gifted artists to pursue their advanced musical studies at Yale, and we work diligently to attract the best teachers for our students. Nurturing young artists, developing their distinctive musical signatures, and polishing their musical gifts: This is what we do, and this is what we will continue to do with our heritage of excellence.
The future of musical artistry stands before us. As technology rapidly develops and the world becomes smaller, we are committed to forging the path to the music of tomorrow. Tomorrow demands that we broaden our mission to prepare our students to be both visionary in their artistry and ready to respond to the demands of an ever-evolving global artistic culture. Music has always had the power to transcend human experience, to draw us to new heights and depths, to both dispel and create boundaries, community, and meaning. The future of music will be shaped by bold artists, willing to engage their talents in ways we can not yet imagine. Now is the time to be bold, to look ahead and prepare our students to be innovative artists and creative leaders.
The future requires that we deepen our international ties, expanding our students’ experience abroad, provide more faculty support, update our technological resources, and maintain state-of-the-art facilities to meet the needs of our graduate and undergraduate students. We invite your support and investment as we look forward, preserving the trust of our musical heritage and rising to create the music of tomorrow.
