The Southern Atlantic Conservatory of Music was founded and organized by current, former, and retired educators, exceptional musicians, and businesspeople who have the incredible desire and vision to be part of something unique, innovative, substantial, and productive. We believe the arts has an indescribable impact on society. Nothing drives the economy of the world forward more than creativity and there is nothing that drives creativity more than the arts. We also recognize and have experienced many of the issues in today’s system of higher education: politically, financially, and program development. We are proposing a new model for arts education that addresses:
- The extraordinary and continuously increasing costs
- The need for an enticing, unique curriculum to ensure success in a highly competitive musical environment
- The opportunities to affect arts education, awareness, and leadership locally, regionally, and globally through numerous outreach programs.
