At Longy, career coaching is a transformational process of self-discovery.

It is built on the belief that you are capable and whole and that the answers you seek are found within you. Our Longy coaches are expert in asking powerful questions that help you identify values, raise awareness, identify roadblocks, shift lenses, explore options and organize priorities.

You'll have access to career coaching throughout your entire graduate education (and beyond!). Coaching ties together the threads of the Catalyst Curriculum—helping to guide your selection of courses by taking you from where you are now to where you'd like to be at each point along your journey.

Additionally, "The Multifaceted Career" provides weekly conversations with artists who embody this expansive, aligned and integrated narrative of holistic career success.

And from your first days at Longy, students become Boston musicians, performing professionally with faculty on concert stages around the city. Networking opportunities with an extensive community of musicians and music organizations develop the skills needed to become a successful musician. In addition to performing alongside our professional partners, Longy students can further expand their skills through Teaching Assistantships or Graduate Fellowships, which reduce tuition by up to $10,000 per year.
