Wisconsin’s Leading Music Program
The Wisconsin Conservatory is more than a community music school; it guides and inspires children and adults alike to find their voice, discover their desired instrument, and develop their music-making capabilities, whether you are just beginning or a seasoned professional. We aim to unlock every student’s potential by making music together in a collaborative environment, fostering creativity and providing a musical education to last a lifetime.
The Conservatory is completely welcoming & enriching. Since I started, the faculty & staff have helped me to feel like I’m part of the music culture.

Donate to the Instrument Repair Fund
Give Them Music
Since 2017, Milwaukee residents have donated hundreds of no longer played instruments from their closets, attics, and basements. These once-cherished, now-worn instruments require repairs before gaining new life in the hands of children. By making a gift to the WCM Instrument Repair Fund, you have the power to shape a musical journey.
Proceeds benefit the Conservatory
