BRINGING MUSIC TO THE COMMUNITY
EXPERIENCE WESTMINSTER CONSERVATORY of MUSIC
At Westminster Conservatory, you get more than just music lessons, classes, and performing ensembles. Students enrolled at the Conservatory receive a number of special benefits and opportunities included in your tuition.
- Full academic year of instruction
Lessons, classes, and performance groups run from September through early June. - Individualized goal setting
The teacher helps each student identify and accomplish his or her technical and musical goals. Through this process, the student learns personal responsibility and gains a sense of achievement. - Lesson observation week
Parents or caregivers sit in on their child's private lesson during the week of November 2, 2009 to meet the teacher and share goals for the student. - Studio class
Studio classes allow teachers to bring their private students together for an informal performance opportunity. The studio class and evaluation (see below) count as one private lesson in the spring term. - Written evaluation
The student evaluation is held during the week of May 17, 2010 where the student's progress progress is evaluated by a panel of faculty members in a relaxed, supportive, and friendly atmosphere. The evaluation and studio class (see above) count as one private lesson in the spring term. - Student recitals
The Conservatory encourages students to take advantage of the various performing opportunities offered. Frequent performances help remove many of the anxieties associated with public performance. Student recitals are held periodically throughout the year and are open to all students, with the permission of their teachers.
