Conservatory Canada
Institute in London

We are a not-for-profit, examination, training, federally incorporated educational institution of professional musicians and volunteers that serves its clients through programs of study, recognition and performance. In 1922, the London Conservatory and Institute of Musical Arts amalgamated and existed until 1934, when they were incorporated under the name Western Ontario Conservatory of Music. In 1915 that affiliation was dissolved, and in 1919 the Institute of Music Arts was founded (as a teaching institution). In 1910, the London Conservatory became affiliated with The University of Western Ontario and it became an examining Board. Conservatory Canada's roots go back to 1891, when the London Conservatory was first founded. The reach became truly national in 1997 through a merger with The Western Board of Music (established in 1934, and based in Edmonton, serving all of western Canada, Alberta).
