“One of the most memorable musical student/teacher interactions
I have ever witnessed occurred during a concert I attended in
Tuscany last summer near Montepulciano.
A group of exceptionally gifted young students
from the UCLA string department
performed an array of classical and contemporary works
together with their distinguished professors -
Movses Pogossian, Guillaume Sutre, and Antonio Lysy.
The results were breathtaking and brilliant.”
- Sir John Eliot Gardiner
"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."
-Benjamin Franklin
“#9 – Los Angeles, according to ranker.com, is the second best city in the
United States in which to start and nurture a music career.
#8 – The extraordinary diversity and open mindedness among the faculty and students – culturally, stylistically, and pedagogically
– reigns supreme.
#7 – With a relatively small and intimate music department offering unique and customized curricula, in the words of The Cribs,
'you’re not just another number on another road.'
… And the #1 reason for studying music at the Herb Alpert School of Music --- Camaraderie, compassion, encouragement, laughter, enormous support for intrepid explorations beyond the fringe, freedom of artistic expression, and a program that drives one toward
an insatiable appetite for more.”
