The Conservatory of Music is a highly selective school comprised of approximately 100 performance majors. The faculty are all noteworthy teachers and performers, as you can see from the partial list below. Financial packages are not only available but competitive enough to make you spike your tuba to the ground in excitement! The Conservatory takes pride in the fact that it makes quite generous offers to ALL those who are accepted.
Boca Raton is on Florida’s east coast approximately 25 miles south of Palm Beach airport and 25 miles north of the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Temperatures rarely fall below 65ºF degrees and the campus is only 4 miles from the beach—so a tuba player will always have a scenic place for many hours of serious practicing.
Those interested can contact me (KAmis@lynn.edu" target="_blank) or the Conservatory of Music at Lynn with any questions. Application information can be found here.
