  • “Something magical happens when people play music together. For that one moment, the whole group is feeling and adding to the same energy, working together towards a common goal.”

    Justin Bannister, Piano Tutor / Soul Good Band Conductor
  • “Studying at the Northern Rivers Conservatorium has been a highlight of my children's week going on 13 years now. Through floods and fires and covid, the Con was still a major part of their community life and helped inspire them to continue playing and working towards their goals, no matter the obstacles. We’ve been so grateful to have access to such a high-quality musical education for our children, even though we live rurally. ”

    Tara Luca, Parent
  • “The quality teaching, sense of community, and numerous performance opportunities provided by the NRC have equipped our sons with the skills and confidence to perform in front of any audience - they are flourishing, and we're delighted!”

    Janos and Catriona Ertz, Parents
  • “The Con is my second home. The teachers and staff are always 100% supportive and the ensembles program is a great way to meet new friends and play music.”

    Tilly Jones, Composer / Student
  • “The thrill of 'I can do it!' is, ageless, often inspiring creativity and a life-long passion for music.”

    Wendy Ford, Piano / Vocal / Guitar Tutor
  • “It is a joy to develop musical skills with students of all ages. To see each one of them grow musically and then develop further in the ensembles program is very satisfying.”
