Goals
- Nurture the finest post-graduate performing musicians
- Enable these musicians to:
- fulfill their own talent as performers
- make a contribution to their community and to the future of music
- Serve the music field by developing a broader definition of the musician's evolving role in society and by creating a model for how musicians can relate to their communities
- Supplement the delivery of top-quality music education into the NYC public school system
Values
- The Academy is a professional program built upon the premise that its participants are a community of learners. Fellows are expected to take ownership of their learning and to be open-minded and flexible as they meet challenges.
- The Academy helps fellows develop their capacity for advocacy, leadership, and embracing the model of artist-as-citizen.
- The Academy believes that the training, support, and tools provided to the fellows will allow each of them to define his/her own path after leaving the program and that the totality of a fellow's experience in the program advances his/her level of performance and artistry.
