Longy is a degree-granting conservatory and community-based school of preparatory and continuing studies with a curriculum rooted in the tradition of Western art music. Its faculty promotes profound musical understanding and technical mastery, encourages growth of imagination, and fosters an attitude of inquiry about the role of music and the musician in the larger world. We make a school-wide commitment to uphold uncompromising standards of musical excellence, provide an expert faculty for all of our students, offer programs that provide our students with opportunities to engage with the world in new ways, and help each student realize his or her individual potential. We value the transformational power of music, the joy of making and sharing music with others, the art of teaching, honest ongoing assessment, respect for the individual, a diverse and supportive community, dynamic interaction with the larger world, creative thought and innovation, the freedom to explore, and advocacy for our art.
