Welcome to the Central Coast Conservatorium's Website!
 

The image of a Conservatorium as an enclosed structured environment is a hard one to dispel and our present campus in the Old Courthouse in Mann St. does not help us in this  regard. However our profile in the community has never been higher and we hope the old image is long behind us.
The Conservatorium has committed to the CBD of Gosford as the Regional Capital of the Central Coast. With the prospect of an �Arts Precinct� as part of the CBD development there will be the opportunity to further engage the community in our program. In the 21st century, the Conservatorium will be the 'meet and greet' place for music on the Central Coast where professionals, students and music lovers (parents) celebrate the gift of music as a community and nurture the wealth of talent in our region.

We have a tutoring faculty of the highest quality delivering a flexible program relevant to all ages and ability levels; many of those tutors are featured regularly in our recital series. They also appear as members of the Central Coast Symphony Orchestra and other affiliated groups such as the Concertante Ensemble. For the third consecutive year, we have facilitated over 80 performance opportunities on the Central Coast ranging from beginner instrumental performance practice to international artists appearing as part of our Recital and Orchestral Series. Our contribution to Central Coast cultural life is now without question.

We look forward to �making a difference with music� in 2008 at the Central Coast Conservatorium.
