changed the way we recruit, audition, teach, and nurture musicians.

Training more musicians

We’re not in the business of saying who can and cannot be a musician. The world needs more musicians, not fewer. There is a plethora of important work to do. Our alumni will go on to perform on the world’s stages, start music programs in under-resourced neighborhoods, bring healing to patients in hospitals, and make meaningful connections with individuals in marginalized communities.

Encouraging intrinsic motivation

We’ve noticed that music training traditionally starts early in life. Students often find their motivation outside of themselves (e.g., from their teachers). We disrupt this dynamic by reigniting each student’s own intrinsic motivation, empowering them to dream big, overcome obstacles, and explore who they are as artists. Our intensive career and life-coaching process helps students imagine a career based on what matters to them and the difference they want to make.
