Popular and Commercial Music
The Beatles. Kendrick Lamar. Alicia Keys. Talking Heads. Adele. What do these performers have in common?
They’ve all made music that is creative, artful, challenging, innovative—but also wildly commercially successful. Our popular and commercial music program welcomes rock musicians, rappers, EDM artists, singer/songwriters and all other musicians who might not necessarily have a background in classical or jazz.

Music Therapy
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, "Music is the universal language of human kind."
It heals us. We listen to it, and we feel — nostalgia, happiness, curiosity. What better way is there to impact the world with your artistic vision than to use that healing power to help another person?
Music Industry Studies
Our programs can teach you the business of music and how to properly capture and share your sound—and the sounds of others—with the world while still pushing you to sharpen your musical ability.
That way, no matter what area of the music industry you wish to pursue, you’ll be able to turn your passion into a career.

Music Composition
Music speaks to everyone in a language unto itself. Expressing its technical and emotional power takes fluency in the art and science of composition.
The Music Composition program will give you the knowledge to share your musical
voice freely, clearly, and confidently.
You’ll develop fundamental knowledge—control of melody, harmony, rhythm, and form—and learn to articulate musical ideas through analog and digital synthesis, recording technologies, songwriting, and yes, jazz composition. (This is New Orleans, after all.)
