Interested in EMMI?

The Elizabeth Mandell Music Institute (EMMI) is a progressive, renowned, audition-based classical music conservatory within the Upper School.

In addition to the outstanding college preparatory academic offerings at Crossroads, EMMI students study music theory, harmony, analysis, counterpoint, rhythm and ear training at the conservatory/college level. Chamber Orchestra classes meet twice a week and culminate in four annual concerts. Chamber Music classes also meet twice a week, and ensembles are coached by prominent Los Angeles musicians, culminating in two concerts a year. Solo recitals are presented monthly.

Please submit this form to get started on your application. The process for auditioning for EMMI is done in addition to applying to Crossroads, but we'll send you all of the information you'll need to do both.
