College Advisory

Please note that this event will be held online via Zoom.

High school students are invited to embark on their college exploration journey at our College Advisory event, led by HBMS Dean Christopher Kenniff. Gain valuable insights from guest speaker Barbra Weidlein, an authority on university, conservatory, and liberal arts music programs. The event also includes panels featuring college admissions officers and HB alumni who will discuss their experiences preparing for college, the application and audition process, and studying music at the university level. We encourage active participation and interaction between parents and students throughout the event to maximize the learning experience.

Colleges represented on the panel include admissions officers from Carnegie Mellon University School of Music, McGill University Schulich School of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, and the University of Michigan School of Music Theatre and Dance.

RSVP here.
