Pioneers in Music College Admissions Consulting
We understand how overwhelming and full of pitfalls the admissions process can be. Choosing a school that isn't the best fit can be a disappointment for the student and lead to extra expenses and stress for the family. That’s why we pioneered college admissions consulting for music majors. No school consultants have a stronger track record of helping students position themselves for acceptance into the top-tier, best-fit universities and conservatories.
Considering a double major or dual degree path? We help with that, too! Whether you're double majoring in music or completely separate fields, we've helped parents and students weigh the pros and cons, and navigate admissions successfully.
For 15 years, we’ve helped hundreds of parents and students navigate college and graduate music school admissions and get accepted into a top school of their choice. With our knowledge of universities, conservatories, their faculty, and music programs, we’re able to recommend the right schools and improve students’ probability of success.
What Parents & Students Say ….
“IMS was extremely instrumental in guiding my daughter through the unbelievably daunting and competitive task of applying to her dream schools for professional voice! They spent many long hours with us including several late nights navigating the applications, resumes and keeping spirits up when the going got rough! Their numerous contacts were also crucial in the process for building confidence for the actual auditions. Thank you IMS for your wisdom and guidance and helping us stay sane through the blood, sweat and tears and ultimately getting accepted into her dream school!”
