About VICTORIA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC

Founded in 1964, the Victoria Conservatory of Music (VCM) has an outstanding reputation for quality in education, performance and music therapy. As a music school for the whole community, the VCM has over 130 faculty members & welcomes over 3,500 students of all ages and musical abilities.
