School of Music

Here at the Mary Pappert School of Music, we help students become the musicians they want to be with degrees and programs backed by the skills and experiences of our world-class faculty. Our students benefit from state-of-the-art music technology and recording studios, 68 Steinway pianos, and two performance venues, among many other facilities. Your gift helps us to provide our students an education that utilizes all of these resources to their fullest potential.

 

The impact of your gift

 

Your support helps us bolster the education of our students with opportunities such as:

 

  • Master classes, recitals and lectures presented by world-renowned guest artists and teachers
  • Financial support to participate in professional development activities
  • Access to professional performance facilities including Heinz Hall, Carnegie Music Hall, Twentieth Century Club, August Wilson Center, etc.
  • Maintenance and upgrades to facilities, enabling our students to have access to the best learning environment available.
