Admission to The Crowden School is based on musicianship, grades, day visit, teacher recommendations, music audition, and entrance examination results. Special attention is paid to:

• Each student’s enthusiasm for the instrument played
• To the necessary commitment required of a rigorous academic curriculum and full music program
• To the willingness of parents/guardians to support and contribute to a community of young musicians
• Our online application is available below. We encourage you to reach out by phone, email, or in person if you have any questions or concerns during the admissions process. We look forward to meeting you soon!

All the best,

Kirsten Shallenberg
