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.
