The Kingsway Conservatory provides a vibrant and nurturing environment where students can learn, share and explore their creative side. Beautiful facilities, professional faculty and a fantastic breadth of vibrant programs for all ages set the stage for “inspired learning.” Classes for babies, toddlers and tots tap into little ones’ innate sense of rhythm and musicality. Three- to six-year-olds find their inner musicians through Orff/Kodaly/Eurhythmics classes of singing, movement and instrument-play. Exciting ensembles such as the Ukulele/Recorder Ensemble, Kingsway Children’s Choir, Suzuki Strings and GLEE Club offer many tangible benefits plus the exhilaration of making music together. KCM’s private studios are electric with learning including lessons in piano, voice, guitar, strings, winds and drums, from classical to jazz.
