Working with local schools
These programs can be tailored to different ages and learning styles for elementary, middle, or secondary students.
Workshops for Visiting Schools
Looking to book a workshop for a school field trip? We can tailor an activity that supports your curriculum and fits your group or classes’ part or full day needs. Our workshops are suitable for elementary, middle, or secondary students, can be tailored to different ages and learning styles, and may include a campus tour.
Fees are based on the number of faculty required, the number of students, and the length of the workshop. For those groups that meet criteria, partial or 100% subsidized cost options are available. Adult chaperons are required for elementary school groups.
Some examples of workshops include:
- Full ensemble clinics for Middle or High School bands or choirs, including break-out sectionals.
- Elementary school class sing-alongs and fiddle music or ukulele.
- Creative Technology workshops that may include introduction Sonic Pi, building a midi controller, sound design, digital audio workstation, or recording and production.
- Art & Music Safari workshops – combining visual art with music creativity.

We come to you! Workshops, Masterclasses, and Interactive Concerts
Offered either as one-off unique interactive learning experiences, or as a series, the Victoria Conservatory of Music provides student activities such as the following, based on available funding:
- Interactive concert presentations in Elementary schools, such as student chamber ensemble performance with education focus on how students work together in a group setting, and understanding the difference between hearing vs listening.
- Workshops in Middle schools for band students, either as a whole ensemble to focus on note reading, playing in time together and listening; or broken into related instrumental groups to focus on technique development.
- Music Technology workshops in Middle and High schools using midi, coding, virtual instruments, and digital audio workstation software to create music and soundscapes of all types, as well as explore sound design for gaming and film.
- Masterclass series in High schools for advanced music students providing the opportunity to work with renowned professional musicians in Classical or Contemporary genres.
