Schools - Composition Departments
Boston’s thriving intellectual
and educational community is home to numerous first-rate
conservatories and college music departments. Many of our members
attend, are alumni of, or currently teach at these internationally
renowned institutions. Since the educational process can be a defining
part of a composer’s development, our website highlights the area's
composition departments on a rotating basis.
