MISSION

Through outreach, we identify, enable, and provide rigorous, high-quality music/dance instruction and performances that nurture and encourage personal and social growth. We create an inclusive pathway to professional learning for children and youth of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds living in the Los Angeles Westside community.

VISION

Our vision is to be widely recognized as the preeminent Conservatory on the Los Angeles Westside, where all children and youth with an aspiration to pursue performing arts studies in college and career are constantly improving through instruction and participation in workshops with acclaimed professionals, afforded performance opportunities in their community, and by gaining admittance to leading performing arts schools and colleges.

CORE VALUES

We believe in developing an infrastructure that supports, empowers, and values our Community, Vision, and Mission.
We believe in sharing and inspiring through outreach with audiences who may have had little or no exposure to instrumental music making or dance, with the belief that the experience will enrich the lives of all involved.
