Excellence...from Bach to Broadway

The BW Conservatory of Music is a proven choice for students aspiring to perform with the best orchestras, operas and theaters; to gain acceptance to top graduate schools; and to land positions in teaching, arts management and music therapy.

In addition to our world class undergraduate programs, we serve more than 2,000 community members each year through our Community Music School ensembles, classes, private lessons and summer music programs.

Conservatory of Music in a Liberal Arts Setting

With an emphasis on experiential learning within a liberal arts environment, our majors, programs and minors blend artistic excellence with innovation. As an undergraduate-only Conservatory, students are not competing with graduate students and are able to take leading roles in performing, composing, conducting, managing and teaching.
