Make the most out of the services available to help you make your decision

If you have the flexibility to do so, it is a good idea to look at conservatoires over a wide area in order to find the conservatoire and course which suits you best. Applying without having set foot in a conservatoire is not a good idea, so take every opportunity to visit places that interest you. To do this, you may find open days helpful.

How can I find out more?

  • Each conservatoire will have a prospectus that provides information about it and the courses available.
  • Tuition fees can vary considerably depending on the conservatoire and the course. Read the finance information on the conservatoires' websites before deciding on your choice of courses.
  • Conservatoires' websites will give you more details about the services offered; course information; and information about bursaries and scholarships for assistance with your fees and living expenses.


The conservatoires' websites and contact details can be found in our conservatoire map>>
