The reputation of Manhattan School of Music rests largely upon its 275-member faculty of highly accomplished performing artists and teachers. These devoted professionals specialize in building performers with a strong foundation of technical skills; they hold our students to the highest standards of our musical heritage while fostering originality of expression.

Students benefit from the talent and involvement of these accomplished musicians. They are soloists, chamber and jazz artists, and members of such performing institutions as the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, New York City Opera and Ballet orchestras, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.

 

“Pursuing excellence as a musician demands hard work and a lot of it. Choosing a music school in which to invest the most valuable and formative years of your life is a serious matter. Manhattan School of Music has never failed to impress me with its energy, dedicated students—students who put in the time and sacrifice and who have the achievements to show for it—and its wonderful collegial atmosphere. With these attributes and a first-rate faculty of seasoned performers and instructors, Manhattan School of Music is a truly special place.”
