Testimonials

  • We have been so happy at the Rochester Conservatory!! Our three children love their teachers and are learning so much so quickly! Whenever our kids play in public we always get asked by other parents about where they study - I proudly tell them all about the Rochester Conservatory! - Allison

  • Bravo to the conservatory for putting together a great show. I was skeptical of how the online recitals would turn out with our daughter singing and then adding the track later, but it was amazing. Thanks for doing what you do and making sure the kids still had a recital.

  • I wanted to let you know how amazing Igor has been for my son. He was in a low spot in his practice and wanted to quit. Igor has brought that love and spark back to him. I can’t say enough good things about him! - Elizabeth

  • I have always wanted to play the piano, and now that I am retired I finally have the time! It's awesome!! My teacher is so sweet and very, very patient with this old guy! I really enjoy the lessons and even the performance workshop classes. This year I think I will even play in a recital!! - Mack

  • I wish we had found the Rochester Conservatory sooner! My son has been studying elsewhere for 2 years and we decided to make a change to the Conservatory because we felt he wasn't progressing. He learned more in his initial consultation lesson than he learned in the entire two years with his previous teacher! Thank you Cliff and Kay Ellen Wilkins for providing such a fabulous environment and for your dedication to your students for all of these years! - Margaret

  • As we adjust to online lessons because of Covid-19, Camelia has been fantastic as always and brings a lot of joy to our daughter which we are grateful for especially because she misses her friends terribly. - Melissa

  • Thank you for putting on this presentation!! It was very well done. We appreciate all your efforts to make it happen, and the added bonus that we can share with our loved ones.

  • My children started in the Musikgarten program when they were 2 years old and we have never left! Both kids are studying two instruments each and having a blast playing together! Our house is filled with music! I am amazed at the high quality of professional teachers at the Rochester Conservatory. Everyone is so dedicated and positive! We will be sad to leave when the kids graduate from high school! - Nancy

  • Best kept secret in downtown Rochester! - Sally
