At the SoCal Conservatory of Music, we’ve spent decades refining a model of music education that truly supports long-term growth — not just in students, but in teachers, too. Our evaluation process is about mentorship, alignment, and intentional progress. Similar to national models like TAP and the Marzano framework, our system helps young musicians thrive through regular check-ins, community support, and personalized guidance. We’ve known for years that this approach works — now, the rest of the education world is catching up.
