Royal Conservatory of MusicThe Royal Conservatory of Music, the largest and oldest independent arts educator in Canada, has offered extraordinary opportunities for learning and personal development through music and the arts for more than 100 years. The Conservatory was founded in 1886 as The Toronto Conservatory of Music. Its founder, Edward Fisher, was a young organist born in the United States. With the support of leading figures in Toronto society, the Conservatory officially opened in September 1887, located on two floors above a music store at the corner of Dundas Street and Yonge Street. In 1991, the Conservatory gained its independence from the University of Toronto and took over full control of its building and its diverse programs. Dr. Peter Simon was appointed President of the Conservatory. The Conservatory has continued to grow, expanding and strengthening its core programs: The RCM Community School, The Glenn Gould School, the Young Artists Performance Academy, Learning Through the Arts, The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited, and RCM Examinations. Although the Conservatory has seen many changes since it was founded, its mission remains the same: to develop human potential through leadership in music and arts education.
