🎶 Music creates opportunity.

We’re excited to announce the recipients of the 2026 CommonTime Summer Scholarship Pool.

This year, we awarded $5,000 to support student musicians pursuing incredible opportunities around the world—from composition programs and summer festivals to international performance experiences across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

As we reviewed applications, we were inspired not only by the talent of these students, but by their passion, dedication, and commitment to their craft. Their stories were a powerful reminder of how music can open doors, build community, and create life-changing opportunities.

Congratulations to all of our scholarship recipients! We can’t wait to see what you accomplish this summer and beyond. 🎉

The world doesn’t need more automated ex*****on. It needs deep human empathy.

To every student musician, performer, and arts educator: the world is hitting an automation bottleneck, and the workforce is quietly looking to the arts for the solution.

While hard technical metrics and standardized data ex*****on are becoming easier for AI to commoditize, the premium is shifting entirely to Artistic Intelligence.

As enrollment expert Jim Bouse breaks down in this clip, jazz legend Miles Davis once summarized his musical style with a single rule: “It’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play.” That is the exact definition of artistic taste and deep empathy. It is the ability to step outside yourself, look around the corner, and identify the silent human needs and hidden niches that data and machines completely miss.

Whether you want to major in Business, STEM, or the Arts, your creative background isn’t just a baseline talent—it is your ultimate competitive advantage.

The full episode is officially live.
