Private Lessons
Private music instruction is the core of the Portland Conservatory of Music and the foundation of a fulfilling musical experience and is anchored by our unparalleled faculty.
Chamber Ensembles
Students become part of a chamber music group, from duos to octets, in either mixed instrument groups or traditional instrumental combinations.
As member of an ensemble, students gain a shared sense of responsibility and become better listeners, performers, and musicians as a whole.
