Pre-College Music mirrors the first weeks of Carnegie Mellon’s first-year undergraduate School of Music curriculum. It is designed to prepare students for college-level auditions and the life of a music major. Students build skills and confidence through private studio lessons, major performing ensembles, and music support courses. Admission to each course is based on a demonstrated performance level, which can be shown through an audition recording or a submitted portfolio. Regardless of a student’s skill level, there is a place for them to learn and grow in this program. Our residential 6-week program stands out as the most comprehensive and enriching option, yielding the most significant results. This immersive experience allows students to explore the full breadth of our curriculum, advancing to more advanced repertoires both in solo work and ensemble performances. We recognize, however, that this level of commitment may not be feasible for everyone. To accommodate varied schedules and needs, we offer alternative programs that provide a solid foundation for musical growth. The depth of your Pre-College Music experience and the extent of your development will correlate directly with the program you choose.
