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.

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.
Jazz Studies
So you want to study jazz? We don’t think there’s anything cooler.
