The National University of Music (Spanish: Universidad Nacional de Música; UNM), known as the National Conservatory of Music (Spanish: Conservatorio Nacional de Música) from 1946 to 2017 and as the National Academy of Music (Spanish: Academia Nacional de Música) before that, is a public university in Lima, Peru.

This, along with other attempts, did not succeed until May 9, 1908, when President José Pardo y Barreda approved a plan for the preparation of an academy through Supreme Resolution No.

Said institution, the National Academy of Music, opened the following year under the direction of Peruvian musician Federico Gerdes [es], who was joined by other teachers, such as José M. Valle Riestra (teaching Solfège, Harmony, Counterpoint, Fugue and Composition), Próspero Marsicano (Rio de Janeiro Conservatory), Erich Schubert (Imperial and Royal Academy of Music of Berlin), Enrique Fava Ninci (Pesaro Conservatory), Nello Cecchi (Bologna Conservatory).

[2] The academy acquired a property in 1927, which currently serves as its historical headquarters, and was renamed by Augusto B. Leguía to include Alcedo's surname through Supreme Resolution No.

[2] Under the military government of Juan Velasco Alvarado, the academy was renamed the National School of Music (Spanish: Escuela Nacional de Música), merging it with the National Institute of Culture, which led to a decrease in talents at the institution.
