Music school
From Free net encyclopedia
(Redirected from Conservatoire)
A music school or conservatory (American English) — also known as a conservatoire (British English) or a conservatorium (Australian English) — is an institution dedicated to teaching the art of music, including the playing of musical instruments, musical composition, musicianship, music history, and music theory.
Most music schools are tertiary level institutions, and they may either be independent or part of a university. Many music schools originated as vocational training centres for would-be professional musicians, often outside the main academic structure. These institutions have retained an emphasis on performance into the 21st century, while also adopting a more formal academic approach. On the other hand there are university music departments, which originally placed more emphasis on academic study of music, but often place greater emphasis on performance now than they did in the past. The two groups overlap more than they used to, with the specific emphasis varying from one institution to another.
There are also some specialist music schools for school age children, for example the Yehudi Menuhin School in England. These combine intensive music education with a general academic education. Image:Stpeteconservatory.jpg
