The mission of the Rockland Conservatory of Music is to provide quality professional music instruction at reasonable rates to students of all ages and abilities, regardless of ethnic, religious or financial background.
Founders Edward and Janet Simons felt that anyone who wished to make music part of their life's journey should be given the opportunity to do so. The Conservatory Scholarship Program for students in financial need, has remained at the center of their vision since the school's inception 53 years ago.
