A Message from the Director

To express in a few words the purpose of The Crestmont Conservatory of Music, I would like to begin by saying that our musical institution was first inspired and continues to grow with one meaningful purpose: to welcome and extend our teaching services and abilities to all students, regardless of race, creed or color. We are here to help and encourage these students, each at their own level of performance, to reach their highest possible goals. To those who seek proficiency in their selected instrumental vehicle, we help them reach a fine understanding and appreciation of all the beauty music has to offer, intellectually and emotionally. And to those who are seeking a professional career, we provide every possible professional guidance to help them reach their ultimate goals.

It is my sincere wish that through our Conservatory we will be able to prepare these students for all that is demanded of them as they continue to carry on our work in the future musical world.

The Crestmont Conservatory has been a long-time dream of its director, and if we continue to grow as we have since its inception, this dream will be fulfilled beyond my greatest expectation. Our students are growing rapidly and strongly, and we are very proud of them. They are reaching out into the community and some have gone on to even national and international levels. Let us hope that our Conservatory will continue to progress so we may furnish more and more outstanding talents that the whole world might one day share and enjoy.

Thomas LaRatta
Director, Crestmont Conservatory of Music
