The Collegiate Access for Young Musicians virtual series is presented in partnership with El Sistema USA. Now offered in course format, the Application Accelerator Cohort equips high school sophomores and juniors with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to take their next step toward collegiate study in music. Through interactive workshops led by educators, admissions professionals, and musicians, participants will receive expert guidance on each stage of the college application process and build a personalized roadmap for their journey. Additionally, students will connect with a supportive network of professionals and peers, and the series will culminate in a virtual college fair featuring leading conservatories and schools of music nationwide.

In this session, Finding the Best Fit, you will discover how to identify and compare college music programs to match your artistic and academic goals. You will explore what makes a school unique – degree offerings, faculty, facilities, location, and financial aid – and learn how to build a personalized college list to confidently take the next step in their musical journey.
