St. Joseph's School of Music's welcoming community and faculty of teaching artists nurture the joy of learning music in people of all ages, abilities, and aspirations.

St. Joseph’s School of Music was founded in 1970 by the Sisters of St. Joseph Carondelet through the merger of the St. Joseph’s Academy Music Department and St. Agatha’s Conservatory. Our provenance of providing music education will soon mark 140 years. Initially resident in the Carondelet Center adjacent to St. Catherine University, the School’s growth in enrollment and faculty necessitated more spacious accommodation in the historic Brown and Bigelow Building at University Avenue and Syndicate Street.

Today we are a vibrant, non-denominational, non-profit organization serving a diverse community of students of every age, background, and income-level with excellent music education.

Our students, from beginner to advanced, in instrumental and vocal music, have the advantage of one-on-one instruction from highly-trained and accomplished faculty. Students enjoy participation in early childhood music, our dynamic Suzuki program, and they excel in school and area student orchestras, bands and in state and national competitions.

We perform all over the Twin Cities, offering abundant performance opportunities to our students at community venues, churches, and senior residences, as well as premier concert spaces.
