We’ll enjoy favourite songs and dances, do an Octopus Hula, jump on a banana boat, and then snuggle up and happily relax to gentle beach sounds and songs. Beach Days is as fun and restorative as, well, a trip to the beach!

The Nanaimo Conservatory of Music offers individual and group lessons, ensembles, youth choirs, workshops and Master classes for all ages and skill levels, from beginner to professional. Our building is an open, inviting space in which friends, students and family members can meet to learn about music and enjoy musical activities in a non-competitive and richly creative environment. From babies in our parent-child Kindermusik classes, to the senior members of our community, all who wish to enrich their lives through music enjoy the friendly atmosphere of our home in the Old City Quarter.
The Nanaimo Conservatory of Music is also a presenter of music events in the central Vancouver Island region. Each year we offer a variety of professional music performances as an opportunity for our students and the community to experience music programming that would otherwise not be available in our area. Our most recent annual solo piano recitals have featured pianists Angela Hewitt, Sarah Hagen, Janina Fialkowska, André Laplante, and Jane Coop. Looking ahead to October 2018 the NCM is pleased to present renowned Canadian pianist Ian Parker in recital.
