New York Conservatory of Music

The New York Conservatory of Music is a music school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. It was founded in 1998 by renowned concert pianist Dr. Jerzy Stryjniak and his wife, musicologist Joanna Stryjniak.

The school, located on lovely tree-lined 69th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues, is easily accessible to all means of public transportation. The New York Conservatory of Music offers a wide range of music instruction to students of all levels and ages.

The Conservatory’s mission is to educate students in music and culture; help them develop their tastes in classical, jazz, Broadway music and more; and provide them with the proper environment for professional growth.

For those who do not plan to become professional musicians, the school's approach to learning music will enhance musical appreciation, build or enhance new skills and reduce work-related stress.

Very young students will have the opportunity not only to gain a deep knowledge and appreciation of music, but also to enhance their self-esteem and build their character. All students can develop their innate musical potential at their own pace in a friendly and supportive environment.

The school is particularly proud of its special program for adult students, helping them to gain proficiency and enjoy performing on their instrument within a few months of lessons while also enjoying a pleasant social experience.

The Conservatory offers individual lessons in Piano, Violin, Viola, Guitar, Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Saxophone, Voice and more. Students can also participate in lectures on music theory, music history and appreciation and our recital programs at elegant and well-known performance venues. Classes are taught by highly recognized concert instrumentalists and instructors.
