MSM SUMMER ENGLISH STUDY - SUMMER ENGLISH STUDY (SES) IS AN INNOVATIVE, EIGHT-WEEK IMMERSION PROGRAM ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS ENTERING MSM IN THE FOLLOWING FALL SEMESTER. THROUGH INTENSIVE STUDY AND INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER STUDENTS WHO ARE FLUENT IN ENGLISH, SES PARTICIPANTS PREPARE FOR MUSIC-SPECIFIC COURSEWORK AS THEY ACCLIMATE MORE GENERALLY TO AMERICAN SPEECH AND TO LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY. CAMP MSM - SET ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS IN THE HEART OF NEW YORK CITY, CAMP MSM IS A RESIDENTIAL CAMP (WITH A DAY CAMP OPTION) THAT PROVIDES INTENSIVE MUSICAL INSTRUCTION IN MUSICAL THEATER AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED GRADES 6-11 (AGES 11-17).

ADDITIONALLY, OUR LIVE WEB-STREAMED CONCERTS AND MASTER CLASSES, FEATURING MSM STUDENT ENSEMBLES AND ACCLAIMED FACULTY, NOW ATTRACT A WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE. MSM DISTANCE LEARNING'S AWARD-WINNING PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE GLOBAL CONSERVATORY FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, AND MUSIC BRIDGES FOR K-12 & COMMUNITY AUDIENCES, OFFER MASTER CLASSES, PRIVATE INSTRUCTION, AND SEMINARS FOR MUSIC STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS; STANDARDS-BASED CLASSICAL AND JAZZ PROGRAMS FOR K-12; AND A VARIETY OF SELECTIONS FOR LIFELONG LEARNERS. CENTER FOR MUSIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP (CME) - IN TODAY'S MARKETPLACE, MUSICIANS NEED MORE THAN ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE; THEY NEED THE ADDED EDGE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES AND BUILD SUCCESSFUL, SUSTAINABLE CAREERS.
