Question answered by upards

There are 263 members of the Association Européenne des Conservatoires, Académies de Musique et Musikhochschulen in 55 European nations. It depends upon what you intend to study--piano, violin, voice, theory, etc. Different conservatories have different strengths. And, to some degree, this decision will hinge on whom you may wish to study under. Certainly the principal conservatories in London, Paris, Vienna and Brussels are outstanding. E.g., Royal Academy of Music http://www.ram.ac.uk/default.htm Conservatoire de Paris http://www.cnsmdp.fr/ Konservatorium Wien University http://www.konservatorium-wien.ac.at/ Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles http://www.conservatoire.be/ Go to the link below to identify all of the conservatories in the city in which you choose to study.

What are notable Music conservatories or Universities in Europe for studying music?

What are the names of American music conservatories that allow double-majoring in two performing specialties?

Specifically Piano + Jazz Studies, which is what I'm planning on doing for college. I cannot find any conservatories online that allow that, save New England Conservatory and Oberlin Conservatory.

Question answered by joshuacharlesmorris

Many conservatories will allow though will require you to do two separate auditions, one for piano and one for jazz. I know many musicians who have double majored with two performing degrees, if you're unsure pick up the phone and call the school to find out their policy.

What do you learn in a college music conservatory?

I know that college music conservatories help you build connections and equipment, and stuff like that, but what practical applications do you actually learn? I know that they teach you how to actually play your instrument, and they give you opportunities to play in bands and orchestra's, but that has to be a small part of the full program. What else do you learn? And most importantly, is it worth it? You can take lessons and learn in instrument without actually being a college student, so what practical applications does college music give you to justify the cost of tuition? I mean, there are many successful musicians who didn't go to a college conservatory, but they are still amazing musicians and composers. They learned through simply doing it, and having a good mentor, teacher along the way. It's their natural ability because it's an art form. Like all art, there are no specific set of rules, so how is a college music education even worth it? So to sum up the question, what do you learn by attending a college conservatory of music that you would have a harder time learning simply through experience, and maybe a good private teacher?

If you're a rock or jazz musician, college is not really necessary. However, for a classical musician it's vital. No one hiring orchestral musicians these days is going to even consider a resume from a player who just took lessons instead of going to college. There's too much to learn. Being at a conservatory or university music program gives you access to great teachers you probably couldn't get otherwise. Most of the teachers in my program taught only enrolled students. The ensemble experiences, the sight-reading sessions in orchestra, the master classes and the chamber music coaching all took up a few hours a week. We had to go through an ear training course. In addition, we all took two academic music courses per term. Theory and music history were required, classes such as composition, electronic music, history of jazz, conducting, improvisation, and a survey of choral music were offered as electives. If you think there's nothing more to music than being able to play, you're missing a lot.

I want to know the Top music conservatories for Viola Performance in the US?

I'm trying to find the best school Viola performance and i'm deciding between several in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. I would really just like a list from best to worse like 10 or so of Music Conservatories in the US for Viola.

Question answered by . . .

I would not believe anyone who said that they can definitively rank US music conservatories. Within the vast realm of music, there are many factors that will determine which school is right for YOU. There are four of us in the family (me, husband, son, daughter-in-law) who hold multiple undergrad and grad degrees in music, all from fine schools. We all chose schools in major cities, because that is where the finest orchestras and opera companies are, therefore the finest players and teachers. What is going to matter to YOU the most is the private teacher with whom you study - and i would VERY strongly advise you to take a few exploratory lessons with prospective teachers while you are still in HS. Surely, your private teacher has given you some insight here (and if you do NOT have a private teacher, there is no sense in pursuing this conversation - you WILL NOT GET IN to any decent conservatory). You will get a lot of responses in which the ONLY school people can think of us Juilliard - and most of those responders not only did not GO there, but cannot SPELL it correctly - which tells you something. If you are looking at NY - then of course Juilliard, Manhattan, and then you have to leave the city - Purchase, etc. If you are looking at Philadelphia - Curtis, U of the Arts, Temple. Ohio - pretty much Oberlin, which is excellent, but not in as large a city. Also consider Boston - BU, New England. I assume you are a Northerner, since this is the area you have chosen to look in. If you were looking further afield, I would add others. You might want to also consider Hartt School in Hartford, and Yale in New Haven - the same teachers travel the corridor up and down the East. But again - it is the PRIVATE TEACHER with which you will study that will have the biggest effect on your education. Best wishes for you success.

Difference between a conservatory and a private teacher?

I play flute a violin and I want to get private lessons. I found conservatories and private teachers however what it the difference? What are the benefits and what is bad about each of them? Thank you.

Question answered by lainiebsky

Some teachers choose to run their own business. Some prefer to work for a conservatory and have a professional staff handle registration and fee collection. Conservatories (as opposed to music stores that advertise lessons) usually vet the teachers to make sure they're at least marginally competent on their instrument and have passed a criminal records check. The disadvantage is that you usually pay more for a similar level of instruction because you're paying the administrative overhead too. Find the teacher that works for you. There's no hard and fast rule about which is better.

By building regulation could this be classed as a conservatory rather than extension?

I plan to build a structural wall to be part of my perimeter wall, that I am going to build myself. I understand that extensions are bound by building regulations and conservatories are not. The conservatory will be built in a few years. For now I am building brick wall 6ft at the back and sides of property. This wall will become the wall for the conservatory eventually. I was planning on building it as a non load bearing wall. Hence less footings. Also did not plan to use insulation for it. I know how to build the wall. What I want to know is when does a conservatory become an extension and if the following build requires building inspector? The gap between my house and the perimeter is about 2m. It is the same length as my house, about 7.5 meters. My house is 6 meters wide. Is it practical, just to build the double wall with standard footings rather than as a load bearing wall? The only load it will be bearing is the clear glass or similar material conservatory roof. Thanks for advice.

Question answered by Avalon

Although the legislation states planning permission is not needed any conservatory has to conform to building regulations. Building it on to a non load bearing wall is asking for trouble as it will be structurally unsound. Before you do anymore speak to the Building Officer at your local Council.

How many conservatories are there in the UK?

I am having trouble finding any statistics for the number homes with conservatories in the UK. Is there anywhere available to find this information? Thanks, This is research for a college project.

Question answered by Enquire

This might be difficult as the Census doesn't collect information on conservatories, though it does ask about heating and bathrooms. The trade body is the Glass and Glazing Federation http://www.ggf.org.uk/publications who might be able to help. In addition, market research firms will often do research on this sort of consumer area AMA Research has the report 'The Domestic Conservatory Market 2008-2012' at http://www.amaresearch.co.uk/Domestic_conservatory_market_08.html - obviously, it can be expensive, but some basic information is available in the summary. If you have a large business library or a university library nearby, they may have some market research reports available This answer was provided by Enquire, a 24-hour, live question answering and enquiry service offered by public librarians across England and Scotland in collaboration with partners in the United States.
