Instruction from the principal chair of the San Francisco Symphony prepares the next generation of flutists for a life in the orchestra—or as a gigging musician capable of taking on any repertoire. Students have the opportunity to perform in SFCM's many ensembles, as well as enter the biennial Woodwind Concerto Competition.

Industry Alliances to Support Students and Artists

In recent years, SFCM acquired two leading artist management companies and an iconic record label to reimagine how elements of the music industry can better integrate to advance the human experience through music. For students, that means more opportunities to interact with touring artists and industry experts–including professional development workshops, side-by-side performances, and enhanced masterclasses.
