About the Conservatory

Founded in 1904 by Clara Lichtenstein as the McGill Conservatorium, the McGill Conservatory is proud of its long and established history of providing quality music education to both the McGill University and Montreal communities. The McGill Conservatory is the Community Program of the Schulich School of Music of McGill University and offers music lessons for all ages and abilities.

A Musical Tradition. The main focus of instruction at the McGill Conservatory is on classical music. However, we offer instrumental and theoretical instruction in all styles including jazz and popular music. Students enrolled at the McGill Conservatory come from the Montreal region, or are currently studying at McGill University in other degree programs. With a view to serve both these constituencies, the McGill Conservatory has two locations: downtown in the Strathcona Music Building of the Schulich School of Music and in the West-Island at Macdonald Campus, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue.

Teaching Staff. Our students benefit from a highly qualified and dedicated teaching staff numbering over 120, many of whom continue to perform actively.

Language of Instruction. Practical lessons in most instruments and ensemble coaching are offered in both English and French. Theory and Ear Training courses are taught in English, with bilingual support from teachers. Examinations are offered in both English and French.
