Music at Curry

In music classes at Curry, you'll learn to listen and think locally and globally by engaging with traditional, popular, and classical music from around the world. You'll explore music as not only a means of artistic expression, but also as a lens into global culture, history, politics, race, and gender. You'll learn about music you've never heard before - and you'll dig deeper into the music of your favorite artists. You'll learn to listen, and you'll learn to describe what you hear - whether it's Cambodian rap, Trinidadian steel pan, or Western classical music. And along the way, you'll get to see some awesome performances on campus or in Boston - for credit! Doesn't get much better than that!

Whether you want to become a better singer, learn to read music, or get involved with community outreach efforts - we want you to Sing! with us.

Private Music Instruction at Curry is how you can keep up those flute or piano or drum chops, or begin learning a new instrument.

Boston is one of the world's great musical cities. It's the birthplace of music education in the U.S. It's home to some of the nation's oldest classical performing arts organizations, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Handel and Haydn Society. It has nurtured iconic pop/rock acts including Aerosmith, Pixies, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and The Dresden Dolls. Its universities and conservatories have trained some of the world's finest pop, jazz, and classical performers including Meghan Trainor, Esperanza Spalding, and Yo-Yo Ma. And, thanks to its vibrant immigrant communities, Boston is also home to virtuoso performers from varied global music traditions. 

Studying at Curry, you'll have prime access to all that Boston offers musically. Want to see a Kendrick Lamar show? We can do that! Want to hear the Boston Pops? Let's go! Hamilton's playing downtown? Well, you get the idea...there's a show every night in Boston, and as a Curry student you have access to them.
