What Families Are Saying

“I just wanted to leave a review to express my gratitude for the conservatory. They are top notch. We tried music lessons at various different places until we found the conservatory - there's no comparison. My 11 year old son began voice lessons with Jaime to help him prepare for FWAFA auditions. He went from not knowing how to read music and not knowing anything about technical singing to getting accepted into Texas Boys Choir. We have her to thank! He also grew with his confidence tremendously. In the summer he did piano as well with Emily and she was fantastic. Dr. Jill is wonderful. She's very responsive, encouraging, and the whole facility is managed well. Thank you!!”

“Jill, I just finished reading your blog post, which was wonderful, by the way! I just got so excited because this is why we’re at the conservatory. This is why we make the drive past dozens of other places. This is what we want for Penny Mae. I’m just so glad we found you all those years ago!!”

“The teachers are highly qualified and they bring the best out of our kids. It is always amazing how much they have learnt in the semester. They have a recital at the end of the semester and my husband and I are amazed to hear all the students. Highly recommend this place if your child wants to learn to play or continue to play in a safe and healthy environment”

“Immense teacher/student intelligence, competency and dedication here, all set in a stately old home on Hemphill St. This was our first visit here, to watch our grandson and other students perform on piano. What a wonderful school!”
