These students and faculty contribute to and benefit from the international distinction of Yale University, which not only cherishes its academic heritage but also places great value on all of the fine arts. Yale is renowned for its libraries, art galleries, historical collections, and theatrical presentations, and for its rich concert life. The eleven other professional schools at the University, the Graduate School, and Yale College itself contribute to the vibrant social and educational environment.

While Yale has virtually inexhaustible cultural resources, its close proximity to New York and Boston broadens the possibilities for an enhanced student experience.

It is a brief sampling of what you might expect from your time in this place. Whether you intend to perform, coach, teach, research, direct, compose, publish, cri- tique, edit, manage, or lead, consider the opportunities for a challenging and significant immersion in everything that Yale University has to o≠er. The faculty and sta≠ of the Yale School of Music wish you much success in your time here and in your musical pursuits.
