I realized I didn’t talk about course load. Every school is different, but at the standalone conservatories, not surprisingly, most of the load is music related. Besides of course lessons, music ensembles, you have theory , solfege/ear training, sometimes music history/musicology. The non music stuff is pretty limited, it isnt like the core program at a standard school. I will tell you from experience with my son is that the load is pretty heavy because of the practicing involved (obviously, every instrument is different, voice I can’t really talk about). I have heard people tell me that music students don’t know what load is, they are obviously people who have never been in a music school and experienced it:)
