The Music Program at the Harbor Conservatory takes pride in its commitment to serving children, teenagers and adults in a diverse range of styles from Classical and Jazz to Folkloric and Latin.  The two main  pillars of the music program are a strong theory foundation as well as an  active performance calendar with monthly "in-house" student  recitals, three major outside recitals and a guest artist series which hosts  a variety of well-known performing artists and master teachers to work with  our students.  A large number of ensembles and workshops in all styles  and levels are offered to our young performers as an important part of their  musical development. The Harbor Conservatory is recognized internationally as  the leading school for Latin music and is home to the Raices Latin Music  Collection.

The Harbor Conservatory Dance Program introduces young children  to the world of dance, and nurtures and trains talented teenagers for future professional dance careers. Studying with accomplished dance professionals,  Harbor Conservatory students build a solid technical foundation in classical  ballet, modern, jazz, tap, hip hop, African and folkloric dance. Students  progress through varied technical levels and new classes are continually  being developed to better serve a diverse age range of dance students. With  an emphasis on performance, all students participate in “Footworks.” Advanced students at the junior and senior levels  are able to audition for Gestures, our resident student dance company, which  helps them develop performance technique and experience a vigorous public performance schedule.

The Conservatory's Theater Program, inspired by the vision of the late Bertin Rowser, aims to preserve the tradition of Musical Theatre and the craft of acting through classes that cultivate future actors for the stage and new audiences for the theatre. The curriculum gives young people the opportunity to explore themselves body, mind and soul as people, actors and future professional artists. With a diverse faculty of working actors, directors and playwrights, the Conservatory's Theater Program celebrates the great contributions made by artists of color from the past and inspires students to see how they fit, as artists, within the more diverse professional landscape of the future.
