Our Story & Impact
Celebrating 126 Years
of Excellence
For over a century, the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music has inspired students of every age and skill level by providing accessible, exceptional music education. Rooted in the legacy of several historic Wisconsin music institutions, WCM is the largest community music school in the state. Our 100+ highly trained teaching artists offer expert individual, group, and ensemble instruction to more than 11,000 students each year.
The People Behind the Music
The heart of the Conservatory is the people who make it thrive—our dedicated faculty, staff, and board. Together, we carry forward a legacy of excellence built by generations of talented musicians, educators, and leaders who have shaped WCM for well over a century.
