The Arts Conservatory

At the Arts Conservatory, there is a great music program. They teach drums, violin and piano. I think the Arts Conservatory is really good because the music programs there give you opportunities to go to recitals and master classes. When you attend these events, it helps you gain more confidence. I really like the piano program because it taught me a lot and I really enjoyed playing piano. I started to learn playing piano there when I was 5 years old. Now I still play piano every week and love it. I highly recommend that you learn how to play music at the Arts Conservatory. The teachers are passionate about music, caring and helpful.--------From current student - Maegan.

The quality of the lesson and experience is beyond the expectations! Linda the CEO of arts conservatory is a professional incredible teacher and an amazing educator, we started the music class with her and we benefited from her and arts conservatory not only just the music but also many aspects of life to our family and the kid.
We enjoy the learning environment, the classrooms are clean and characterized and with elegant decorations.
The staff and teachers of the Arts conservatory are all nice and kind, we also have dance classes. Miss Kara and Miss Tessa and Miss Vanessa are incredible great! My daughter loves them all!!! It is also very convenient for the parents that they have the ability to schedule multiple disciplines together for easier access.
Highly recommended and have referred many of friends to join!

By far the best piano learning experience my 2 daughters have had. The teachers here are so kind caring, and the most talented of any school I have been to. Kelly Kirby Introductory Piano Program was the best thing my daughters did. If anyone is looking to start Piano lessons for their children, this is absolutely the only place I will go to. Considering I live 45 min away, well worth the drive to Richmond.

My five year old daughter has been taking piano lessons for the past year and a half at the Arts Conservatory and we have been absolutely thrilled with the experience we've had there. The staff are lovely, helpful, and quick to answer questions. My daughter's teacher has been incredibly supportive of her learning and constantly demonstrates a deep devotion to making music education fun and accessible for the youngest learners. My daughter has made amazing progress and truly enjoys her lessons. We've also been well supported as parents when it comes to finding strategies for keeping our daughter engaged with at home practice. Communication with staff and teachers has been top notch all around. I wholeheartedly recommend the Arts Conservatory to anyone looking for music lessons for their kids.

The Arts Connection may have re-branded as The Arts Conservatory, but their high standards have not changed. The Arts Conservatory provides a “one stop shop” for parents looking for high quality learning opportunities for their children. Our kids started with piano and dance lessons while still in pre-school over a decade ago and we have seen them blossom under the instruction and care of top-notch music and dance teachers. Royal Conservatory of Music (including Kelly Kirby) and Royal Academy of Dance curriculum form the basis of music and dance instruction delivered by highly qualified instructors, many of whom are accomplished artists in their own right. We appreciate that students are encouraged to do their best and support their classmates no matter what their level of ability. Performances, examinations, and student recognition awards have helped each of our children build their sense of achievement and self confidence. We also admire the Arts Conservatory’s community activism and sense of social responsibility with programs such as “Reach to Teach” which strives to provide equal access to the arts.
