El Paso Conservatory Of Music

The EP Conservatory has a strong reputation for building good musicians with their preparatory programs. They certainly are not humble about their success stories for good reason, but there is also a strong pressure for students who may not have the requisite drive and desire to enroll in programs that can be overwhelming. Though their focus has shifted in recent years to include a more rounded faculty and some aspects of commercial music, the focus is still very much Western European Classical Music.

While there is great value in that tradition, some students are pushed beyond their abilities. I believe that the conservatory staff, particularly Yvonne, the piano staff in general and Ricky Malichi are all fine educators with the right mindset for training young musicians. It's a mixed bag overall... very pricey, but it is one of the most comprehensive programs in the region.

It's a great school for anyone who loves music! There are great teachers, and since there are small groups, each student gets personalized attention. So it doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a more experienced musician, you will get musical improvement in short time. I took the music skills classes some years ago. That gave me the preparation to participate in operas, concerts, and recitals in Juarez, El Paso and Las Cruces; and also it prepared me to present a successful audition for the Music program in the University of Juarez. Now, I need to keep my voice active, so I am retaking my private voice lessons at the Conservatory.

I had the wonderful privilege to attend the El Paso Conservatory of Music my junior and senior year of high school. I think it's safe to say that I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am today if I had not attended. In fact I wish I had known about this establishment earlier in my high school career. I had the great opportunity to work with musicians and teachers that weren't only extremely good at what they do, but are also great people.

Some of my greatest high school memories are at the conservatory and the education I got there was absolutely necessary for my progression and success in music. Since then I have become a working jazz musician around town, traveled around the United States to meet other people that play my instrument, and have been very successful in my music classes in College.

This program built by Mr. Loftin is one of the best things to happen in my life and to El Paso. I highly recommend that anyone who plans on doing music in anyway shape or form should enroll in The El Paso Conservatory of Music.

Excellent conservatory, from the administration and faculty members to the programs, which is reflected in their products - the students and graduates. I fist came across the conservatory when i googled it way back in 2008 when i just moved in El Paso from the Philippines. The directors, Prentice Loftin Yvonne Marmolejo, and met up with me and a colleague to talk about music opportunities in the sun city and surrounding areas.

A week later, I began taking Voice Lessons with Prentice while getting me to sing with the El Paso Chamber Singers, El Paso Chorale, El Paso Opera and the Sanctuary Choir at St. Mark's United Methodist Church. The conservatory also set up solo recitals for me in different venues with the very supportive Pianist and Coach, Dr. Ezequiel Meza. Summer of the same year, I volunteered to assist in the summer music program where the students took intensive classes in the chosen instruments, as well Theory and Sight Reading, Ensemble, Choir and Keyboard Classes. Here, i witnessed the work ethics and quality of training that the conservatory has imparted on the students.

My short stay in El Paso has not just helped me with my music skills but has given me a new and supportive musical family and has encouraged a great deal in pursuing not just a musical performing career but a teaching career as well. I currently work in Los Angeles as a Choir Director, a Voice Teacher, a Singer, and with the help and guidance of Mr. Loftin and Ms. Marmolejo, an administrator of my own conservatory of music in the near future.

I started at the El Paso Conservatory of Music two years ago when I was a freshman in high school. Since then my knowledge in music has grown tremendously and I have developed a whole new understanding and view point in singing, and now I enjoy singing even more! The El Paso Conservatory of Music is continuing to help me grow as a musician and as a person.

It's the best place for any growing musician who plans on having music as a big part of their life in the future. It produces professional outstanding performers. I recommend this place to anyone who is passionate about music and is very serious about their musical career.

I attended the El Paso Conservatory of Music the very first year they opened all throughout high school. Those four years laid down a solid foundation for me in music. I took weekend classes as well as private piano, voice, and french horn lessons there and I excelled thanks to them. I still continue to play and sing and I use what they taught me on an everyday basis.

I am an audio engineer and song writer in Nashville now, and all the lessons of dictation, theory, and musicality play a role in my recording and creating of music. I could not imagine where I would be without those lessons, I am truly grateful I was able to experience it. I would highly recommend the El Paso Conservatory of Music to anyone who is serious about being a musician, no matter what their musical goal is at the end.

I was enrolled at the El Paso Conservatory of Music for four years. El Paso Conservatory of Music has the best teachers, great learning environment, friendly staff and students. If you are serious about singing, playing the piano, drums, guitar, or music in general, this is the best place to learn and build on your talents.

My experience at the Conservatory was wonderful. I highly recommend this institution to any inspiring musician who wants to further his or her skills to the next level. The instruction and curriculum is second to none. It's not just a great place to start it's a great place to continue. As a performer and teacher in El Paso the experience helped me considerably. I feel a great sense of gratitude to Prentice and Yvonne for helping me when I needed help the most. Thank you.

The El Paso Conservatory provides an excellent musical program for all students. I personally have attended the conservatory for three years, and although classes are a commitment, I have grown and flourished as a musician. I have also been affiliated with the conservatory's Young Ladies Choir, and have found in it a second family. Devoted instructors, along with the rigorous classes, and opportunities provided have not only made me more professional, but have also given me a voice in my music.

Finding the element that sets you apart as a musician is arguably the most important step in one's career. The conservatory and its instructors provided the environment which allowed me to no longer decipher, but to interpret my music. Ultimately, my experience with the conservatory has been excellent, and I strongly recommend its instruction to all developing musicians.

The El Paso Conservatory of Music is such an amazing place where everyone is friendly, and everyone is willing to help you grow as a musician and as a person. I have attended the conservatory since 2008, ever since my singing skills have developed so much that I am now working on some strenuous arias. The conservatory gives students the opportunity to participate in exquisite productions such as Carmina Burana (Carl Orff), The Messiah (Handel), the Opera Amahl and the Night Visitors and the upcoming Mozart's Coronation Mass, Vaughan Williams Serenade to Music and Mark Hayes Te Deum Concert.

I am also part of the Conservatory Young Ladies Choir which has changed my life completely and has made me realize why I began singing in the first place. We have traveled all around the world doing what we love the most while improving our music skills at the same time, and to finish up my last year here, I will be heading to Austria in the summer with the Young Ladies Choir to visit Mozart's home. Overall, the El Paso Conservatory is the best place to be at because of it's incredible faculty such as Mrs. Yvonne Marmolejo (Voice & Diction), Dr. Esequiel Meza (Piano & Coaching), Mr. Prentice Loftin (Voice, Conducting & Sightreading), Melissa Parks (Voice, Music Theatre & Opera) and many more.

I am extremely happy here and proud to say that everything that I know about music and all the wonderful things that I have accomplished are thanks to all of these amazing people.

I studied privately under Yvonne Marmolejo from 2006-2010 with scholarship from the El Paso Conservatory of Music. I could not be more thankful for the opportunities the experience brought me. Not only was the Conservatory very thorough in preparing me for continued studies at a university of music, but it was done so with the utmost care. I felt my talent was nurtured properly for me to be able to pursue a career in voice. I am now studying at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins. I highly recommend this program to other interested musician of all ages!

This is by far the most professional and music oriented school I've seen here by far. The staff and instructors are amazing. You deserve to go to this school, if you are serious about music that is

Some of the most accomplished musicians and educators help you learn techniques so you can ejoy and appreciate music.
