As one of the most comprehensive and acclaimed institutions for the study of music, the Indiana University (IU) Jacobs School of Music (JSoM) plays a key role in educating performers, scholars, and music educators who influence music performance and education around the globe.

In addition, many top musicians and scholars come to the school each year to give master classes and guest lectures or to serve as visiting artistic directors, conductors, and faculty.

The breadth and number of performance opportunities are unparalleled in college music study, with the school offering more than 1,100 performances a year, including fully staged operas and ballets. The school's facilities, including 5 buildings located in the heart of the IU Bloomington campus, comprise outstanding recital halls, more than 170 practice rooms, choral and instrumental rehearsal rooms, and more than 100 offices and studios.

The grandest facility is the Musical Arts Center, which features technical capabilities that are among the best in the nation.
