Applicants to the Tanglewood Music Center Vocal Arts Program must be between 20 and 35 years old as of the start of the program. Applicants to all other programs must be at least 18 years of age as of the start of the program. All applicants to the TMC must have completed their secondary school education (high school).
No other programs have specific age limits, although it is expected that applicants to the TMC will have advanced musical skills, and therefore most successful applicants will have completed or nearly completed their undergraduate education.
