XIII.A   Description

The School of Music is a graduate professional school whose goal is to educate musicians for professional careers through broad and intensive studies in performance and composition. Its curriculum, faculty, and other resources serve to develop both excellence in a special field and intellectual growth beyond the area of specialization. The School of Music offers professional instruction in composition, conducting, voice, keyboard, wind and string instruments, and related work in musicianship, music history, and music theory.

Through the affiliated Institute of Sacred Music, interdisciplinary study in liturgy, worship, music, and related arts is also available. The faculty of the Institute is appointed jointly with either the School of Music or the Divinity School. Additional collaborations exist with the Department of Music and with Yale College.
