Music

The Cornish Music Department has always been forward thinking. Our legacy includes cutting-edge jazz education, maverick composers who challenge the way we listen, and performers making art around the globe. World-renowned faculty mentor students as they find their own path in the music industry.

The music industry is a beautiful web of possibilities. At Cornish, our Bachelor of Music degree prepares students for their careers by equipping them with the essential skills they will need, while offering opportunities to experiment and develop their own artistic vision.

With its rich history, Seattle is a perfect city for an art school. Cornish is surrounded by dozens of theatres, museums, music venues, and galleries, as well as design firms, production companies, and creative agencies.

With iconic Seattle landmarks, vast forests, mountains, and bodies of water as our backdrop, there is no end for inspiration and exploration.

The Cornish of today is a lab for creativity and transformation, where talented students are empowered to become artists, citizens, and innovators.
