Omaha Conservatory of Music

At the Omaha Conservatory of Music, we believe that passion for learning combined with dedication to excellence can make music a lifelong source of joy and inspiration for our students and families. Our encouraging environment allows students to gain confidence in their musical abilities, learn discipline and mastery, and enjoy music-making with their peers. The latest brain-based research on how we learn is actively applied to the Conservatory's teaching philosophy through private lessons and community events that encourage autonomy, competence and relatedness: key factors found by neuroscientists to instill motivation and bolster success (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Educators have identified the top life skills needed for success in today's world as creative thinking, goal setting, cooperation, and problem solving. The study of music enriches these skills in such depth that we believe every child should receive a thorough music education, ensuring the most success in whatever career path they may choose. At the Conservatory, all students will experience music with depth, pursue excellence, and develop in their area of interest. We strive to offer the students a wide range of opportunities that are fun and engaging, and that encourage the entire family to participate in a joyful educational experience.
