Message from the Director

As the Director of this program, I am proud to share what makes our program one of the world’s top choices for young musicians seeking exceptional musical training. 

The Colburn Music Academy is a nurturing environment where dedicated, passionate students can thrive. We offer individualized instruction with world-class faculty who are leaders in their fields. Beyond private lessons, our program includes chamber music, a unique conductor-less ensemble for strings and winds, weekly broadcast recital performances, masterclasses, and workshops that encourage artistic growth. We also emphasize musical versatility, so our students graduate not only with advanced technical skill but also with a deep understanding of musical expression and collaboration. The Music Academy is an unsurpassed pre-college program offering three days a week of artistic immersion for exceptional residential and non-residential students. 

At Colburn, we prioritize each student’s holistic development, balancing rigor with a supportive community that inspires creativity. Our campus is designed to feel like home, with access to outstanding practice spaces and concert halls. Families can trust that we’re fully committed to helping every student reach their full potential, preparing them for top conservatories, universities, or professional careers. 

If you’re searching for a place where your child’s musical journey can flourish in a nurturing, world-class environment, Colburn’s Music Academy is the ideal choice. Join us, and become part of a vibrant, inspiring community that celebrates the transformative power of music.
