A music school or conservatory is an institution dedicated to teaching the art of music, including playing of musical instruments, musical composition, musicianship, music history and music theory. The terms conservatoire and conservatorium are also used in some English-speaking countries when referring to music schools.
In some music schools, other standard subjects taught as secondary (such as at the Yehudi Menuhin School).
