The Kent State University Hugh A. Glauser School of Music was honored to receive recognition on the “Top 10 ‘Hidden Gem’ Music Schools in the US” list for 2017 from Music School Central.

Recently, the School of the Music and Kent State have received increasing recognition for the high quality of their education programs. Ralph Lorenz, Interim Director, stated that “The Hugh A. Glauser School of Music is dedicated to providing students with a first-rate learning experience in a family environment, and it is always gratifying to receive external recognition for our work. We hope that this recent recognition as a top-ranked ‘hidden gem’ music school will help get the word out about our outstanding faculty members and programs.”
