This article gathers the results of the research carried out in the music conservatories of Castilla y León. The main objective has been to analyze the presence of contemporary music in music classrooms of the conservatories and also the specific permanent training received by the group of specialist music teachers in the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León. For this purpose, we have carried out a qualitative methodology, implementing case study techniques. In this way, we have reached the conclusion that ongoing training in the field of contemporary music for teachers in these specialized centers is practically nonexistent, which leads, among other consequences, to the scarce inclusion of the genre through subjects or specific content in the performance itineraries of the professional music conservatories of Castilla y León.
