As one of the premier institutions for the study of music, Manhattan School of Music draws talented individuals from all over the world who are passionate and dedicated to every aspect of music — classical and jazz, vocal and instrumental, performance and composition. Entrance auditions are held to identify those students who possess the drive, potential, and talent to become world-class musicians. While admission to Manhattan School of Music is based primarily upon this audition, the evaluation of previous academic work and the number of openings in the major field for which the student is applying are also factors. In addition, performance experience, extracurricular activities, and other factors are considered.
