About

The Bangalore Conservatory is a Music College founded to provide quality Music training, comparable to the finest music degree granting institutions in the world. We were founded originally to train musicians for service in the Christian church. As our service of music training to the Indian community has expanded over the years, we have added degrees to meet the professional training of our students. Our goal is to provide space for the serious music students at an affordable cost so that there is no need to leave the country in order to obtain world-class music training.

The Training is combined with academic study and professional development. Students have an opportunity to perform regularly, exhibiting their talent and expertise throughout their three years of study through weekly recitals and several public concerts during each year. Students also have practical music teaching experience before they graduate.

We offer Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees in Western Classical Music. Our faculty is among the finest music teachers in the country.
