The organ department at SFCM is home to fewer than five students, this close instruction allows young musicians to develop their craft to the best of their ability. Students have the opportunity to perform on organs around the city in addition to the Conservatory's own, and to engage in many collaborative and employment opportunities through groups such as the American Guild of Organists.

Industry Alliances to Support Students and Artists

In recent years, SFCM acquired two leading artist management companies and an iconic record label to reimagine how elements of the music industry can better integrate to advance the human experience through music. For students, that means more opportunities to interact with touring artists and industry experts–including professional development workshops, side-by-side performances, and enhanced masterclasses.
