Trollwood Conservatory
Trollwood Conservatory is a newly designed two-week intensive study program for the serious student who wishes to study an arts discipline at the advanced level and in a compact time frame.
Daily sessions will include “hands-on” skill development and training experiences that are team taught by professionals in the field. All classes provide a positive, focused, and professional atmosphere where students can develop and sharpen their abilities. Students will give a performance at the end of each two-week session.
In addition to structured learning times and experiences, students will also be afforded many opportunities to talk with faculty about post-secondary education opportunities, the college audition process, and working in the profession.
