Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts
Your musical home at The University of Winnipeg!
The Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts is proud to call the historic Bryce Hall on The University of Winnipeg campus home. We have a long-standing, harmonious partnership with the University of Winnipeg and The Collegiate.
The Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts is Manitoba’s premier independent music school. We offer individual music lessons and group music classes for beginners as well as for those in need of advanced musical instruction. Every one of our instructors is highly qualified to teach music. A majority hold Bachelor degrees, many possess Masters degrees and some have earned Doctorate degrees. Our instructors consider themselves musician/teachers — professional musicians who teach. We are dedicated to a higher level of musical learning.
Whatever stage of your musical journey, the Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts is here to help you achieve your goals! You are welcome here.
What’s available for University of Winnipeg and Collegiate students?
- Studio space for practicing over lunch or during spares (from 12-3 pm, subject to availability). This is offered free of charge for students! Simply call our office at 204-988-7650 or stop by our office at 1B01 in Bryce Hall to book a studio.
- Experience fabulous recitals and performances, for free!
- Access to individual music lessons to fit your schedule-during the day, in the evening or on weekends.
We offer individual instruction for virtually every genre and instrument, including piano, voice, strings, guitar and ukulele, winds and brass, and drum kit and percussion. If we don’t have an accredited instructor for the instrument you wish to study, we will seek to find one for you.
We offer a variety of group music classes! These group music classes offer many benefits, including an opportunity to make new friends, reduced stress, and improved fine motor skills. Plus, our classes are fun! Each class offers an opportunity for personal growth and fulfillment. Whether you’re a beginner starting a musical journey, or a seasoned musician interested in refining your skills, we have something for everyone!
