Conservatorium Open Academy

Since 1974 the Open Academy at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music has opened the doors of the Conservatorium to the community through a wide range of programs, courses and workshops for school students, musicians, music teachers and to all those who are interested in learning more about music.

Courses are held in the outstanding facilities of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music on Macquarie Street, Sydney and are designed to inspire and challenge. It’s never too late to learn about music so why not join us today.
