About PCM



Many thanks to the Community Television Network for this production!

The Portland Conservatory is a Community Music School located at 202 Woodford Street in Portland. The Conservatory was founded in 1995 to provide top notch musical instruction to individuals of all ages, goals, and abilities. PCM has brought that mission to life for the thousands of students who have taken lessons here over the last 16 years.

Currently, the Conservatory has six program areas:

Students across the region participate in Conservatory programs, which are offered to students of all ages, levels, and goals. We are proud of our purpose, which makes us unique among organizations in Maine. Whether you (or your kids) are just starting out on your instrument, or whether you have been playing for years and years, you can be sure that the Conservatory has the resources to meet your needs. PCM currently has more than 400 students annually from across the region, and has a faculty numbering nearly 40 of Maine's most talented musicians.

You can find details about our programs, scheduled events, and contact information on our website, as well as registration materials. If you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call our office at (207) 775-3356.
