The Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) is a private music conservatory in Cleveland, Ohio. The school was founded in 1920 by a group of supporters led by Martha Bell Sanders and Mary Hutchens Smith, with Ernest Bloch serving as its first director.[2] CIM enrolls 325 students in the conservatory and approximately 1,500 students in the preparatory and continuing education programs.[3] There are typically about 100 openings per year for which 1,000-1,200 prospective students apply.

Campus
edit
CIM is located in the University Circle, a four-mile square neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland.
Opened in 1961, the main building houses teaching studios, practice rooms, recital halls, a music library, and classrooms. The building was expanded in 2007, adding 34,000 square feet of space. This included a new entryway and lobby, an expansion to the music library, a new recital hall, recording/broadcast suites, new practice rooms, and additional administrative offices.[5][6]
Through a cooperative arrangement with nearby Case Western Reserve University, CIM students have full access to many university amenities, and, if accepted to both institutions, can pursue a dual degree both at CIM and Case Western Reserve.[7]
