"Music, the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend."    — Beethoven

The San Francisco Institute of Music offers a program of comprehensive music education for talented and motivated students age 5 – 18. They are invited to participate in our integrated curriculum of musicianship, performance classes, composition seminars, and private lessons. Students participating in our program must show at an early age the ability to work with purpose and focus. They will receive the training that will allow them to become masterful performers.

SFIM accepts students on the basis of an interview and placement audition conducted by members of our faculty.
