In the University of Redlands School of Music, our goal is to educate the whole musician, not just to train a performer.

All great performances go far beyond technical mastery to include a sense of history, society, culture, and art. Through a conservatory approach in a liberal arts setting, our students learn to perform, interpret, and teach music in a rich learning environment that provides both a broad education and rigorous training. Our studio teachers are among the finest musicians and teachers in Southern California. The classes are small and our teachers provide an individualized education.
