UNCSA’s School of Music isn’t just about perfecting your technique—it’s about discovering your artistic voice and launching your career.

What makes us unique? While other conservatories keep students in practice rooms, we believe in learning by doing. With over 150 public performances annually, you’ll build confidence on stage while developing your technical skills in programs from piano, voice, and strings to composition for film and visual media, orchestral conducting and opera.

Our faculty includes international soloists, chamber musicians, and industry leaders who work with you one-on-one. With our 9:1 student-faculty ratio, you’ll receive personalized attention that larger programs simply can’t offer.

UNCSA’s five conservatories create a collaborative playground unlike any other music school. Imagine:

• Scoring original films with filmmaking students
• Developing music for theatrical productions
• Recording in professional-grade studios
• Performing in state-of-the-art venues

Our state-of-the-art facilities include a 4,000-square-foot scoring stage (rare even among top conservatories), professional recording studios, and performance spaces with livestreaming technology. You’ll graduate with portfolio materials that stand out to employers.

Guest artists regularly visit campus for masterclasses and performances, creating networking opportunities that often lead to jobs after graduation. Our graduates work with major orchestras, Broadway productions, film studios and as successful independent artists.

The bonus? As a public conservatory, our tuition is substantially lower than comparable private institutions, making world-class training accessible without massive debt.

At UNCSA’s School of Music, you won’t just play your instrument—you’ll discover how to make your unique artistic mark on the world.
