Bringing Music To The Community
Reach Your Full Musical Potential
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.
- In-Person or Virtual Offerings
Our faculty is highly trained to provide in-person or virtual instruction in the upcoming academic year. - Full academic year of instruction
Lessons, classes, and performing groups run from September through early June. Students may also add extra lessons before the summer session with the permission of their teacher. - 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 (fall and spring)
Teachers set aside time in the private lesson to meet with parents/caregivers to share goals and discuss plans for study. - Student recitals
The Conservatory encourages students to take advantage of various performing opportunities offered throughout the year. Frequent performances help remove many of the anxieties associated with public performance. Student recitals are held monthly throughout the academic year and are open to students of all ages and ability, with the permission of their teacher. - 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 when the student’s 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. - Accompanists
