Information for Students

We would like to extend a warm invitation to all student musicians, and to alert you to the numerous musical activities we have to offer here in the CU Music Performance Program. You can audition to take part in a myriad of musical ensembles for credit, ranging from early music, to Bluegrass, to contemporary music and much more. Our private lessons and ensembles are taught by highly active professional artists who are also experienced teachers. Columbia’s music instructors are prominent not only in New York City, but also nationally and internationally. Please check this site frequently for updated information and new musical opportunities. Music lovers take note: all of our events on campus are FREE!
