Whether it be through private lessons, ensembles, camps, or in school through the Conservatory Connections program, many depend on gifts from supporters like you to remove the barriers there might be to music education.
A gift to the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music is an investment in the future musicians in the Milwaukee community and beyond. Thank you for joining us in making exceptional music education accessible for all.

Music Changes Lives
“Music changes lives.” A phrase that certainly comes to mind when you think of Javon, who prior to WCM programs at his school, had little interest in music. Now, thanks to generous donors who allowed him to move into one-on-one lessons with WCM teaching artist Mitch Shiner, he’s a thriving young musician.
Blind since birth, Javon experiences the world through sound and touch. His fascination with how instruments produce sound continues to grow. He’s even had the chance to participate in his school’s drumline and make new friends through his new-found passion for music.
