The Frost School of Music, one of two schools created in 1926
when the University of Miami was founded, is one of the
largest and best music schools located in a private university in the U.S., and one of the most comprehensive in all of higher
education. The naming gift from Dr. Phillip and Patricia Frost
was one of the historic highlights in the life of the School.


 
Building on its foundation as a Conservatory of Music, the
Frost School has pioneered new curricula and was the first in
the nation to offer professionally accredited bachelor’s and
master’s degrees in Music Business and Music Engineering
Technology. The Frost School was also among the first to offer
degrees in Studio Music and Jazz, Music Therapy, and
Accompanying and Chamber Music. In addition, the Frost
School was the first in a major university to develop a student-run label, ‘Cane Records, and a publishing company, Category Five. The School’s innovative programs, combined with its traditional areas of concentration, offer its students one of the widest choices of career programs of any music school in the nation.
