###    What do you think differentiates Harvard's TDM program from other programs at other institutions?  expand\_more  

 Harvard emphasizes and offers a liberal arts-based curriculum, rather than a conservatory-style program. Students can take a variety of [courses](https://courses.my.harvard.edu) in a range of fields in addition to TDM courses. TDM provides opportunities to learn from faculty and visiting lecturers, as well as work with professionals through the [TDM Productions](/productions).
