Since 1947, the Music Academy of the West has been committed to making a unique and enduring contribution to the world of music.
Create a lasting and far-reaching impact on classical music training, youth music education, and the quality of life in Santa Barbara.
“My summer at the Music Academy of the West was the best summer of my life. I was pushed as a professional, as an artist, and as a human. I learned what it takes to build a successful music career. What I learned at the Music Academy will stay with me throughout my entire career, and I am eternally grateful.”
We have many ways to volunteer at the Music academy
