At The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, students receive world-class training in performance, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, jazz, music education, and the music industry. Guided by award-winning faculty—including renowned performers, scholars, and industry leaders—students benefit from individualized mentorship, hands-on experiences, and a dynamic, collaborative environment. 

Your support directly fuels UCLA’s mission of excellence, expanding access to top-tier music education and empowering the next generation of artists, educators, and innovators. Since our founding, we have been home to trailblazers—from Arnold Schoenberg, who anchored our original music faculty, to celebrated opera star Angel Blue. Today, our impact is global, with thriving centers for Iranian, Latino, and Jewish music, as well as the newly founded Music Industry Center, established by Motown legend Berry Gordy. We are proud to be the UC system’s only school of music, housed within the nation’s #1 public university.
