It's excellent school, and all the classes are super good, for instance we have orchestra training, orchestra rep class which help young musician to prepare to get a job after graduate, chamber music, music theory and music history. All the classes they provide are fantastic.
I am a current third year undergraduate student at NEC, majoring in classical vocal performance. The school has provided me with copious amounts of knowledge and has helped me grow as a person, musician, and performer. The program is aimed at shaping individuals into well rounded musicians. The outreach program allows students to make their way out into the community, and the environment at the school enables students to dabble into other musical interests outside of their selected majors. There are additional possibilities to minor in different subjects or create your own minor. If courses are not offered at the school, one may take desired courses at nearby universities. As a vocal student, I do wish there were more operatic opportunities, as most of the funding is offered to the graduate program. The new dorm and student life center is incredible and a major upgrade.
A high-level conservatory atmosphere in the city of Boston. Very good for those wanting to study music as a career.
