San Francisco Conservatory of Music

music education

From day one, SFCM students are given the unique opportunity to explore a wide range of musical and intellectual disciplines while receiving dedicated instruction in their specialty. Rigorous artistic training is balanced by intellectual exploration. More than any other world-class conservatory, we focus on educating the whole person, with an interconnected curriculum that breaks down barriers between the intellectual, artistic, professional, and individual. Our faculty, facilities, and position at the heart of the San Francisco music scene have helped SFCM seize a leading role in preparing—and defining—the 21st-century musician.
