Bronx Conservatory of Music

About BCM We provide eager students with a place to be curious, a place to be passionate, and a place to be brave. The Bronx Conservatory of Music brings the gift of music to our Bronx community. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1991 by Elizabeth Thode Hoard, we have taught thousands of children, teenagers, and adults the joy of music — and continue to teach today. Our faculty members are graduates of some of the finest conservatories throughout the world, including New York City’s Juilliard School, Mannes School of Music, Manhattan School of Music and New York University.
