Washington Conservatory of Music

The Washington Conservatory of Music at Glen Echo Park has been offering music instruction to students of all ages since 1984, operating as an accredited nonprofit school on the grounds of a National Historic Site and offering private lessons, group classes, and chamber ensemble programs across more than a dozen instruments including guitar, piano, voice, violin, flute, and Irish traditional music. The school's faculty of working musicians brings genuine professional experience to every lesson and the Glen Echo Park setting gives the conservatory a unique character that distinguishes it from commercial music schools, drawing students from across the DC metro area who want a serious musical education in an inspiring environment. Instruction is available for beginners starting their first instrument through adult students returning to music after years away.
