Founded as a community music school by Janet Daniels Schenck in 1918, today MSM is recognized for its more than 970 superbly talented undergraduate and graduate students who come from nearly 40 countries and nearly all 50 states; a world-renowned artist-teacher faculty; innovative curricula; and a distinguished community of accomplished, award-winning alumni working at the highest levels of the musical, educational, and arts worlds. The School is dedicated to the personal, artistic, and intellectual development of aspiring musicians, from its Precollege students through those pursuing postgraduate studies.

Offering classical, jazz, and musical theatre training, MSM grants Bachelor of Music, Master of Music, and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees, as well as the Professional Studies Certificate and Artist Diploma. Additionally, true to MSM’s origins as a music school for children, the Precollege program continues to offer superior music instruction to young musicians between the ages of 5 and 18. The School also serves some 2,000 New York City schoolchildren through its Arts-in-Education Program, and another 2,000 students through its critically acclaimed Distance Learning Program.
