I grew up studying music. I went to conservatory.

I went to the Conservatory of Music in school in Rome.

I studied classical music in the Conservatory of Paris.

I attended less than two years of Conservatory in Mexico City.

My conservatory is in the streets. My intelligence is instinct.

I was always very theatrical. I went to theater school in a conservatory program.

Because I had been in conservatory for so long, I was jealous of my friends in bands.

I started in theatre. I went to the Boston Conservatory and majored in musical theater.

When I came out of the conservatory, the first thing I did was to go see Thelonious Monk.

I studied opera, and when I left conservatory I told myself I would never sing in public again.

I got private lessons in keyboard at Julliard, before New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.

Well, I went to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy - I went to the conservatory - for acting.

I ended up turning down a full scholarship of music at the conservatory to pay to go to cooking school.

I was at Second City L.A., going through the conservatory, and I graduated in 2004 and I got 'SNL' in 2005.

After a couple years of occasional lessons with Pass I moved to Boston to attend the New England Conservatory.

I didn't go to a conservatoire, and I have certain low opinions of certain aspects of the conservatory experience.

Yeah, I would go to New England Conservatory a lot. My orchestra teacher ran a program for minority students there.

I trained at a conservatory as a mezzo-soprano and was a musical theater major in college so I had a theater background.

I trained as an actor in London and went to Mountview Conservatory, as it was called then, and lived there for eleven years.

I learned my profession onstage. I didn't have a musical background. I had no conservatory training. I don't play an instrument.

I worked at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, lived there for three years, and lived in Baltimore for 12 years.

I love classical music. Yes, I was in a conservatory when I was younger and played guitar and all that stuff, so I also love rock.

When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory.

I went to college and studied theater; I went to a theater conservatory. I live in New York because I wanted to do plays and still do plays.

Conservatory training is so much. There's so much emphasis on playing perfectly in tune and being perfect and doing everything as it's written.

When I was 15, 16, I studied with Stella Adler at the Conservatory of Acting, then I stopped again and went to the Actors Studio when I was 18.

Just so people know, the Silverlake Conservatory of Music is not at all about celebrity or fame or being a star. It's an academic music school.

When I went into the conservatory at 17, then I was able to open up and accept everything about myself and show my feminine side as well as my masculine.

In graduate school, Aubrey Berg at the Cincinnati Conservatory gave me the chance to perform with the best in the country in Broadway caliber productions.

I thought I was going to be in musical theater all the way, from beginning to end, and then it started not to feel right after my first year at conservatory.

I was in a band in high school and college and I always had a love for music, but I didn't go to a conservatory or anything like that. I was fairly self-taught.

Going to college helped me, because I had four years in the conservatory program, which is close as you can get to a professional environment. It's like all day.

I started playing the piano when I was about two and got a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore when I was five. But I left when I was 11.

I did a lot of commercial and theater work when I got out of school and was living in Dallas, and I moved to Chicago to go through the Second City Conservatory Program.

I've never taken a lesson in my life, and I can play every instrument there is. I play by ear, but I can fool anybody into thinking I went to some conservatory of music.

I went to the Conservatory, studying piano and singing, up to high school - but I only did four years because I then had to start working, and the jobs were so good that I didn't stop.

Before my mother was a King, she was a gifted vocalist and musician, whose skill and academia garnered her a scholarship to the prestigious New England Conservatory for Music in Boston.

My mom is an avid musical theatergoer. My dad would always get a subscription to the Syracuse Stage. I was always exposed to theater. So I went to a theater conservatory at Boston University.

For many people in the music conservatory world, the message was always, Focus! 'You can't do everything; you really need to specialize.' And especially at an early age, I ignored this advice.

I worked in theater my whole life. My mom was a drama teacher at my middle school. In high school, I was Drama Club President every year, and then I auditioned for conservatory acting programs.

Studying music in a conservatory would be stifling for me, although I respect people who can do it. And by no means am I an expert at notating music or music theory - that's not really my world.

Upon graduating from my acting program at The Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts in Santa Maria, CA, I went to my first tap audition. It was for the 1st national equity tour of '42nd Street.'

The Silverlake Conservatory is a nonprofit music school in Los Angeles where we teach music, mostly to kids, but to people of all ages - people who are old, people with beards, all kinds of people.

There's like a special group of people that come from different parts of the planet to study with me. It's nice. I just gave a workshop in Boston at the New England Conservatory, which was really nice.

Being an actress wasn't realistic. I knew that I was going to have to do it in a way that would speak to my parents. So I went to NYU Tisch School of the Arts for theater, and I studied at the conservatory.

My time at Barnard was fun but stressful. I transferred there from the acting conservatory at NYU, and my Rolling Around On the Floor Pretending to Be a Lion classes didn't translate into many academic credits.

In my junior year of high school, I went to a boarding school for the arts: a school called the Governor's School for The Arts and Humanities. It was basically a mini-Juilliard - an intense training conservatory for the arts.

I was 16 when I got a scholarship to study classical composition at a conservatory. By that time I had already listened to Scottish folksong with my mother, sung in church choirs, and had sung solo with Benjamin Britten conducting.

I started doing repertory theatre in upstate New York when I was 15, went back when I was 16, and by that time decided that I really wanted to study drama seriously and go to an acting conservatory called Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

The quality of instruction is very high at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. It's not about being a rock star. It's about the fundamentals of music, theory and technique on a particular instrument, and playing in an ensemble or private setting.
