Love this place. I have been here many times. They have events, meetings, performances and offer lessons. I would highly recommend stopping by or contacting them if you're looking for lessons.

My family loves the Music Conservatory of Westchester and cannot say enough wonderful things about Jake, the summer camp (virtual and in person), lessons, music theory classes, etc. Once you are part of the MCW community, you are part of the family - the private instructors are kind and compassionate and convey joy in the lessons. One of our children started an instrument for the first time over virtual lessons and she has made significant progress and feels a real connection to her teacher, even over a computer screen. The camps are enriching and fun - there is an appreciation that these are children but a respect for their abilities and interests.

Paulina has been taking her clarinet lessons on Zoom with Dr. Douglas Bish since the lockdown.The first class on Zoom Paulina had to adjust the sound because her professor couldn’t hear the clarinet well, after that adjustment the sound on Zoom has work well for us all these months. One day the image got frozen and they had to end the lesson 10 minutes earlier. Other than that we are happy with virtual lessons.I have seen a lot of improvements in Paulina’s playing. Also, she is more dedicated, responsible and enjoys playing her clarinet every day. She is learning in every and she is happy.We are happy with virtual lessons because Paulina can continue her lessons and learn without taking the risk of getting sick.

The school is excellent! Great place to achieve your music goals. My two daughters have developed a passion for learning how to play the piano and read music. The teachers are exceptional and atmosphere is so warm and supportive. I highly recommend this school!

I have been an adult student for over two years at MCW. The quality of instruction is very high caliber and the instructors have impressive backgrounds. Despite the pandemic I am continuing lessons via Zoom. I miss coming into the conservatory and hearing music throughout the building, but am grateful that I can continue studying. Wonderful community of adult and younger students.

My daughters absolutely love going to Music Conservatory of Westchester for the past five years. Both learned how to play the piano at the cute age of four and five. All staffs are simply amazing, friendly, and professional. Every year the Conservatory will have several recitals and performances to showcase students' achievements. Watching these talented kids perform is mind-blowingly cool. I love the fact our kids have the opportunity to choose her favorite songs to play at the performance. The most recent one was "Sun Flower by Post Malone" and "Star Wars Binary Sunset." Learning to play her favorites has immensely helped drive her piano passion.The Conservatory is also tech friendly. All performances are recorded and delivered straight to your registered email.As our kids grow, Music Conservatory of Westchester is also growing. Coming soon: Recording Studio, Digital Piano Lab, updated Percussion Studio, Multi-use Rehearsal Studio, and new Music Therapy Studio.

I have been connected to MCW for over 20 years, first as a teacher and now as a parent. It is a wonderful place to study music, whether you are a child or an adult. The faculty is great, and the administration is high quality, passionate about the music education. I highly recommend!

My son wanted to learn drum sets early last year, but I didn't have a clue on how to find a suitable drum teacher. I asked some of my friends for advice and they strongly recommended the Music Conservatory of Westchester, where their kids took music lessons. The MCW staff was very welcoming and set up a tryout lesson immediately. My son took his lesson with Mr. Robinson and enjoyed it. Mr. Robinson was extremely nice and very patient. He has an excellent background in music and knows how to teach it well. He believes every student can reach his/her full potential. When my son didn't think he was good enough to join the middle school jazz band, Mr. Robinson encouraged him to try out. After some persuasion, my son relented and is now one of the drummers in the band. When the school was closed due to the pandemic, Mr. Robinson offered online classes right away. My son was able to continue his education without any interruption. Additionally, the MCW's "Keep the Music Playing" virtual concert was an amazing experience for my son. The MCW is a well-organized school and a wonderful environment to learn music.

I have been an adult student at the conservatory for many years. The faculty is excellent and they create opportunities for the adult students to meet each other and share music in our recitals.

This summer will be the 2nd year for my daughter at the MCW, she started here just as introduction, (Myself i don't play any instrument and at that time I made my mind for a closer school), but after I saw the dedication, passion and the connection with the Suzuki Coordinator with my daughter... I WAS SOLD TO The Conservatory. My daughter still has her high and low for practicing ( she is 6 year old only)... but always her teacher has the touch to motivate her to keep practicing and learn the new music pieces. At the same time, I am getting involve in her learning progress . And this is what is all about , THE TRIANGLE teacher, child and parent, very important elements ,not only attending the classes makes the learning , it is learning from the teacher and going home and try to practice with your child what was learned at the class.... I really LOVE Violin Suzuki program and our Lovely Teacher Miss Suzanne.... Elena C.

Music education that is just okay. In the Suzuki program, Kids are assigned to private and group classes, however, when our son started picking up different hobbies, we were told that he cannot switch into another group class to accommodate his athletic endeavors. We were told that we can come back to group class in October, which is 6 months from now. In the meantime, I guess we have paid full tuition for half the classes. We will likely go elsewhere, also because I feel that it is time for my son to learn to read music, and the Suzuki method teaches playing by ear. Administration does not even give the courtesy of a call or email when approached with a complaint. I think there are other schools in the area that will be better. Update: We heard from administration. The response was that it is usually not possible to switch group classes. This is important for parents to know: If you think there may be a conflict with another hobby during the semester, the school will most likely NOT accommodate your schedule, and you will lose out on part of the education you already paid for. We were told a refund will not be issued.

be very careful with this institution as their refund policy is complicated and expect that you will not see your money again if your are dissatisfied.
