In 1996, under the pioneering influence of President
Marta Istomin and Maestro Pinchas Zukerman, Manhattan School of
Music instituted a groundbreaking distance learning program —
the first of its kind at a major conservatory — devoted to
exploring the use of state-of-the-art videoconference technology
for music education and performance. Since its inception, the program
has connected students, educators, and distinguished artists around
the globe for teaching and learning exchanges and currently reaches
over 1700 students each year from Albuquerque to New Zealand.
Manhattan School of Music’s distance
learning program offers a wide selection of educational videoconferences
including master classes, private lessons, clinics, workshops, coachings,
sectionals, colloquia, educational & community outreach, telementoring,
professional development, and humanities exchanges.
Our programs are presented to institutions of higher education,
K–12 schools, and performing and community organizations both
nationally and internationally. New program areas currently under
development include remote auditioning and recruitment via videoconferencing.
