INSTRUMENTAL FACULTY

All instrumental students can expect an educational environment that is both broadly based and intensely professional. The program's primary intent is to develop the student's technical and interpretive skills to the point at which the player and the instrument function artistically as one. With a highly respected faculty, featuring some of the finest orchestral and studio players in Los Angeles, and a broad range of musical performance opportunities, Biola Conservatory of Music students are assured a comprehensive and enriching musical education. The combination of expert instruction and healthy competition prepares students to go on to realize their professional ambitions.

 
Biola is only 30 minutes away from Walt Disney Concert Hall, part of the Music Center, and home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
