My kids have been taking private violin lessons here for three years and have also been a part of the violin sprouts program. We've had an excellent experience with wonderful teachers. Would highly recommend!

The facility is beautiful and welcoming. The staff was very friendly. The teachers of the Little Sprouts program were so sweet with the kids. It was so nice that each child was given a key chain to build upon each year. Wonderful memories.

If you want a quality / well rounded music education then be sure to look into the conservatory. Many of the instructors have extremely impressive resumes and really have a passion for bringing the love of music to kids and the Omaha community. I cannot say enough good things about the two instructors my kids take lessons from (Vu Che - piano) and (Spencer Jones - drums).

Who knew there was a great coffee shop andwork space within the Conservatory! A large and clean work space on the west end with a full coffee and tea bar. The Internet was a bit slow so if you plan on working this might not be the best spot but it's great for meeting with friends or clients.
