Spring Open House - Monday, February 16, 2026

Experience a day in the life as a Bailey School of Music student during the Spring 2026 Open House. Prospective students are invited to explore our programs through live performances, faculty-led masterclasses, Q&A sessions, and ensemble rehearsals.

Students are encouraged to bring their instrument and participate in interactive masterclasses. Faculty will offer individualized coaching, including the opportunity to receive feedback on audition repertoire. Previous events have shown that visiting students enjoy playing in a supportive environment, and these sessions often become a highlight of the day.
