Curtis Institute of Music Online Forums

1–30 of 87

Welcome to the global online discussion about music, managed by the Curtis Institute of Music. Join in the conversations with performers and audience members who share a curiosity about repertoire, composers, and listening to and playing music. Our initial trial run with Google Groups will be affiliated with specific MOOCs.

As an online community, we represent many backgrounds, language skills, and music skills; these forums are a place to explore and discover music ideas and sounds together. Please be respectful of everyone and the ideas and opinions expressed here. Posts with inappropriate language or solicitations will be removed. Google describes its Google Groups Content Policy on its help pages. Note in particular its copyright statement: "please don't provide links to sites where your readers can obtain unauthorized downloads of other people's content."

The forum will be moderated by Curtis Teaching Staff intermittently on Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET (time converter), as time allows. To go to class, visit Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas.
