Phoenix Conservatory of Music:
Where are they now?
Backpacks are packed, homework is flowing, there is just a touch of spring in the air- and we have started another great season of programs here at PCM.  We’ve been so lucky to have our Alumni participating in our programs in truly meaningful ways, so we thought we would share with you how our graduates are giving back to our community.
Anna Martinez, who will be starting her Senior year at Grand Canyon University!  Senior recitals, here she comes!  We are so proud of her hard work and effort as a voice performance major!
Paulina Villalón earned a spot on the Spring 2017 Belmont University Dean List and transferred over to ASU to focus on Entrepreneurship.  She is currently working in the music industry as a part time staff with Insight Management for marketing, and full time this past summer at marketing and festival ticketing agency!
PCM bassist Jonathan Travis is not only helping with bass lessons and ensemble direction, but is  an integral part of our staff.
