The Carnegie Mellon School of Music in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a degree-granting institution founded as a one of five divisions of Carnegie Mellon University's College of Fine Arts. A National Association of Schools of Music accredited school, it offers undergraduate and graduate study, as well as pre-college programs in the summer. Students receive the highest level of individualized instruction from professional musicians and master teachers. The program offers majors in every orchestral instrument, piano, organ, guitar, bagpipes, voice and composition.
Instrumentalists are trained to perform various styles and periods of music through a range of performing ensembles. These include the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Flute Ensemble, and Contemporary Ensemble.
Vocalists can specialize in opera, music theatre or concert performance. Private studio instruction is augmented by strong training in vocal ensembles, including Concert Choir, Repertory Chorus and Jazz Choir. Voice majors also study acting, dance and three languages. The School of Music presents two fully-staged opera/music theater productions each year.
There is a strong emphasis on contemporary music and conductors. The Philharmonic's Music Director is Juan Pablo Izquierdo. Composition students compose works for all types of instrumental and vocal grouping. All the works are performed and professionally recorded, culminating in an orchestral piece to be written during the senior year.
