The Brooklyn–Queens Conservatory of Music, locally known as the Brooklyn Conservatory, is a music conservatory located in Brooklyn, New York City. It offers a broad range of instruction in areas of American Song, jazz and gospel singing, Latin jazz, and African drumming. The conservatory was founded in 1897 by German-American immigrants as a classical European conservatory.[2]
The conservatory was initially located at Franklin Avenue and Lefferts Place. In 1944 it moved to occupy an 1881 five storey mansion at 58 Seventh Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn.[1] [3]
About 2,000 full and part-time students take instruction at the conservatory. The conservatory also hosts various musical programs throughout the year. The conservatory concentrates on making formal musical instruction available to people in all walks of life, including those who are not seeking careers as professional musicians.[4]
