It may be called a college of music, or academy of music or conservatory ([[American English]]) or a conservatorium ([[Australian English]]). Music schools exist at different levels: The term conservatory is often used for specialized [[university]]-grade schools that train people who want a career as a music artist, dance or theatre performer. The students learn how to play [[musical instrument]]s, [[singing]], [[Composition (music)|composition]], [[musicology]], [[music history]] and [[music theory]]. Several [[high school]]<nowiki/>s also offer an education in music. In these high schools, the subjects are integrated into a normal school curriculum. The third type of music school is independent of the other education a child or adults gets. These schools are often organised as associations, or they are run by a theatre. Pupils can learn music and other [[performing arts]] outside a context of regular schooling.
