The Conservatory for CMSV Students
What is the CMSV Conservatory? |
| We are two things: the co-curricular music program for the College of Mount Saint Vincent, and a Community Music School serving the Riverdale area.
|
What does the Conservatory offer? |
| We offer music instruction and performance opportunities. CMSV students can take private music lessons, sing in the choir, and take performance-based and academic music classes, all for college credit. Many performing opportunities are available to musicians.
|
Do I need any prior music experience? |
No! |
| All music offerings are available to ALL CMSV students, regardless of experience level or learning style.
|
Can I receive credits? |
Yes! |
| All Conservatory offerings are credit-bearing courses, and most can be audited (taken for no credit).
|
What does it cost? |
| For the most part, NOTHING! The only Conservatory offering with extra cost is private lessons.
|
Tell me about private lessons |
|---|
| Private lessons are available on (almost) all instruments and voice, with expert instructors. Lessons are once a week, and lesson times are scheduled between the student and instructor at a mutually convenient time.
CMSV students can take lessons either of two ways. Choose that which suits you!: |
FOR COLLEGE CREDIT
|
THROUGH THE COMMUNITY DIVISION
|
| Regardless of which path students choose, they receive the same expert instruction and performance opportunities
