Our Mission
The Colburn School provides the highest quality performing arts education at all levels of development in an optimal learning environment.
Our Start
In the fall of 1950, the University of Southern California (USC) established a small preparatory school offering school-aged children piano lessons. The community welcomed the idea, and within five years, the program supported 50 faculty members and class selection broadened to include strings, winds, and voice instruction. By 1956, there was enough participation to organize both a student concert band and orchestra.
