A Guide to Music Schools Community Engagement 5 Cool Case Studies Editor’s Note Is summer really over? Are schools really open again? For many aspiring arts professionals, September marks the launch of what will hopefully be a long and fruitful career path. For those still unsure of where they’ll land in September 2015, we have compiled a guide of 51 music schools and conservatories, selected from the 1,278 listed in the Musical America Directory—which, by the way, we have opened up for the entire month, free to read by subscribers and non-subscribers alike. In this Special Report, we divide the music schools and conservatories into two parts. For those in Part I, you’ll find detailed information on degrees offered, available areas of study, numbers of students and teachers, career and post- graduate assistance, and links to social media and financial information. We also asked each institution to describe its A Guide to most “distinguishing characteristics.” We relied entirely on the schools to tell their own stories. Which brings me to Part II, where we provide just the facts, ma’am, as they are in our database. And since music educators are now acutely aware that students need far more music training to make it in the real Music Schools world, that talent and technique are only half the battle, we asked contributor Wynne Delacoma to take a look at Universal Music U @ Frost, set to open in 2015. While courses in business, marketing, even public speaking are offered at many music schools, this program is the first that actually brings an ongoing business (well actually, its artists) into the classroom. Wherever you may be on the music-education-career path, there’s information in these pages that should match your needs. And don’t forget about those free Musical America Directory listings. Regards, Susan Elliott Editor, Special Reports
