SONGWRITING
INSIDE MUSIC SCHOOLS HELPS GET YOU THERE
Songwriting majors go beyond just loving a good tune. Should you choose to study songwriting, you need an environment offering constructive criticism, ample performance opportunities, and world-class faculty actively engaged with the music industry.
Some songwriters make a name for themselves, while others create compositions for different artists to use. Some songwriters find themselves as part of a record label’s team to draft the next great chart-topping hit, while others are creating compositions for different mixed media.
With the guidance of our consultants and their list of best-fit music performance schools in hand, an IMS student has a greatly increased chance of getting into the school that is right for them.
Inside Music Schools helps you discover where you want to go and how to get there. Mock auditions, simulated admissions interviews, songwriting assessments, and one-on-one support prepare our students to prove their skills in front of the admissions staff. Interviews with alumni and faculty offer insights into campus life and programming you can’t get anywhere else.
We assess the quality of your portfolio based on what college staff and faculty are looking for - with Steve Lipman’s 40 years of music school experience as head of admissions at Berklee College of Music, the experience of thousands of students is your best tool.
