  Music at Yale
The Yale School of Music is one of the nation's oldest and most selective institutions for the graduate-level training of performers and composers.

Yale's oldest musical organization and principal undergraduate chorus, the Glee Club is an 80-voice ensemble of women and men performing a broad spectrum of great choral music, from choral orchestral masterpieces to newly commissioned works, and from world folk music to traditional Yale songs.

 YAM Summer 2002 - Making Music Matter
Yale accepted about 25 percent of applicants to the Music School for 2002-03, down from 38 percent from 1995-96, and competition for admission to some programs is even tougher -- for example, last year, 84 people applied for four spots in the composition program.
But Yale is also home to the well-regarded undergraduate department of music, a chamber-music society; a collection of more than 1,000 rare and period musical instruments, and a digital media center in whose studios students can learn computer sound, graphics, and video.
Although the School's endowment has grown to $110 million from $30 million in 1995, Blocker said it's still too small for a field in which the typical graduate student incurs $30,000 to $80,000 in educational debt and is under pressure to work outside his or her art just to repay the loans.
