WHY INSIDE MUSIC SCHOOLS?
The competition for acceptance to the top music schools in the US is fierce. And, the application process is way more complex and multi-layered than you might imagine.
In addition to that, not all conservatories are alike. The same applies to music departments housed within a liberal arts college or as part of a major university.
Juilliard differs greatly from Curtis and even more so to Berklee; NYU is significantly different from/than USC despite the fact that they are both urban university campuses.
Music Production programs are unique and very different from one another placing emphasis on different aspects of the industry.
With our expertise, we can save you time, money, and frustration throughout the application process. Students almost always need help assessing their skills and abilities, learning what type of majors are offered, and identifying the colleges that will be the best-fit music school or university department for them. These crucial aspects are what we concentrate on at Inside Music Schools.

Ready for Music School?
As a young musician, you feel it—the thrill that comes from listening to and making music. The experience has inspired you to dedicate yourself to becoming a musician, but you know you can’t do it alone. So, you’re giving serious consideration to majoring or minoring in music when you go to college. But where?
As the parent of a young musician, you feel something different. It may bewilder you a bit if you’re not a musician yourself, but you take pride in your child’s dedication. You have even started looking into schools with good programs of study in music, but you quickly become lost in the maze of information online.
Whether you are a student or a parent, you quickly come to realize you need seasoned professionals with expertise in music and music in higher education, not just academics, to guide you. Higher education is so expensive and identifying the music schools that fit you best and then successfully applying to and auditioning for them is so important.
