Macquarie Conservatorium of Music Incorporated

Based in Dubbo with a staff of specialist music teachers, we offer a range of music programs for youth and adults in Dubbo and the Orana region, including music tuition, workshops and performances, as part of the network of NSW Regional Conservatoriums.

Macquarie Conservatorium of Music is a non-profit community organisation committed to providing high quality music education for Dubbo and the Orana region. We are part of a network of 17 regional conservatoriums, providing a high standard of community-based music education for people living in regional New South Wales.

Over one thousand children, youth and adults participate in music education programs each year through Macquarie Conservatorium.

Our programs include:

★ early childhood music classes

★ instrumental and vocal tuition

★ music theory tuition

Tuition via Zoom and video conferencing provides access to music education for students in remote areas. Access to teachers of instruments, levels or styles not available in Dubbo is also an option through video conferencing with other regional conservatoriums.
