Music, like all art, engages the mind and the heart. It redefines boundaries and questions limits in order to make a meaningful statement about the human condition. The education of the mind is, therefore, as important as the education of the fingers. The greatest musicians not only have the technical mastery to communicate effectively, but also are deeply curious and equally adept at analytical and emotional modes of thought. The mission of The Bard College Conservatory of Music is to provide the best possible preparation for a person dedicated to a life immersed in the creation and performance of music. The innovative curriculum of The Bard College Conservatory of Music is guided by the principle that musicians should be broadly educated in the liberal arts and sciences in order to achieve their greatest potential.

All Conservatory undergraduates pursue a five-year program leading to two degrees: the Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Arts degree in a field other than music. The conservatory is now accepting applications for its new undergraduate voice program.

The primary mission of the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College is to prepare students at both the undergraduate and masters level to contribute to the broad field of musical art locally, nationally and internationally through a rigorous multi-faceted curriculum including a balanced immersion in performance, theory, composition and education. This is being achieved through nineteen interrelated degree and non-degree program offerings taught by a diverse and world-class faculty from the traditional Bachelor of Arts in Music degree within a broad liberal arts curriculum, through a post-masters diploma in performance. Several of our courses serve the liberal arts curriculum of the College at large (Pathways). Performance opportunities also exist for qualified non-majors.

Our mission is also closely aligned to that of the College: To educate and prepare its students to become leaders and contributing citizens in an increasingly challenging and complex global society. Being located in one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the United States, the School of Music draws from a culturally rich population that adds to the value of a Queens College education. While preparing our students for this global society, we are also closely linked to the community we serve as evidenced by housing the Lawrence Eisman Center for Preparatory Studies in Music (serving over 400 school-aged children in the local community), and the Queens College Choral Society (made up of approximately 60 community members).

Queens College is a liberal arts college, boasting excellent programs in many areas, and the School of Music is the jewel in the crown. Students at the Aaron Copland School of Music get a world-class education at the center of the cultural universe for an impressively affordable tuition.
