The Pasadena Conservatory of Music (PCM) is a nationally-accredited non-profit community music school whose mission is to educate, advocate, inspire, and share: to educate through a comprehensive music curriculum taught by an exceptional faculty; to advocate for the value of music study; to inspire through performances of traditional, contemporary, and multicultural music; and to share our expertise with a broad spectrum of the community. Our central purpose is to provide opportunities for students of all ages to learn, perform, and enjoy music.

As a community music school, we believe that music is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. Through music we explore cultural differences and seek common ground, making us better listeners, musicians, educators, managers, advocates, and members of our community. PCM is committed to fostering a community that respects and embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our commitment to these values is intrinsic to our purpose, mission, and vision. The vibrancy, advancement, and sustainability of PCM is enhanced by this commitment.
