Culture & Belonging

At the Omaha Conservatory of Music, we strive to be a place where every person feels they truly belong. Music is a powerful connector, and we aim to ensure that everyone who walks through our doors experiences a welcoming, supportive community where their presence matters.

We work to ensure that meaningful opportunities to grow through music are available to as many people as possible.

This includes offering classes in local neighborhoods, providing financial support for families, and presenting select concerts and programs at little or no cost. Our goal is to make participation in music education realistic and attainable for a wide range of households.

Our community is built on mutual respect.

We welcome individuals of all ages, backgrounds, identities, and abilities. We foster an environment where curiosity, kindness, and open conversation help us learn from one another. Harmful behaviors—such as harassment, bullying, threats, or any form of discrimination—are not tolerated.

We want engagement with our programs to feel simple and supportive.

We continue to improve the usability of our campus, reduce barriers related to finances, and provide assistance with processes that may feel overwhelming or technical. If something stands in the way of your ability to participate fully, we want to hear from you.
