The University of Toronto (U of T) is the largest university in Canada and is consistently ranked within the top 20 universities in the world.

Toronto is one of the largest, safest, and most culturally diverse arts-oriented cities in the world. It is home to numerous world-class performing arts ensembles and venues, and has rich traditions in many different musical styles. 

U of T’s Faculty of Music is recognized as Canada’s leading institution for higher education in music, and is internationally renowned for academic and artistic excellence in music performance, education, composition, and research.  And yet, tuition is considerably less than at many American universities and music conservatories.

Our diverse and experienced faculty members are among the finest in their fields. They perform on the world’s most prestigious stages; they are scholars who present at leading international conferences and publish with top presses, educators who offer workshops and masterclasses worldwide, and composers whose works are commissioned by acclaimed musicians and arts organizations. 

U of T Music brings together creative and motivated students with the outstanding educators. We offer programs in performance (classical and jazz), music education, composition, music history, music theory, and ethnomusicology, as well as courses that explore music’s intersections with health sciences, technology, and humanities. The breadth and depth of our programs encourage students to explore new possibilities.

Students learn in small classes, build relationships with outstanding faculty and connect with other like-minded students. They experience a flexible and personalized educational experience in an environment that nurtures creativity and encourages students to achieve their best. 

With over 600 concerts, master classes, and symposia presented annually, U of T Music offers abundant opportunities to perform in solo, chamber music, and ensemble settings in both on and off-campus venues.

We hope you will make U of T Music the next destination on your musical journey.
