Music Studio (Instrumental and Vocal Music Programs)
Benjamin Schott, Assistant Principal
The Vocal Music and Instrumental Music Studios provide a rigorous conservatory experience in music education. During the first two years, traditional skills and disciplines are stressed through our foundation level courses and curricular ensembles which are required by all music majors regardless of what year they enter LaGuardia.
The Music Studio prepares students to continue their studies in music conservatories, to major in music at a university, or to perform professionally. All music students receive preparation in sight singing, music theory, and music history. Master classes feature guest artists such as members of the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera and The Juilliard School.
Grading Policy
- Major Assessments: 40%
