Keys Conservatory at Pinecrest Academy of Nevada | School of Music

Founded on the Inspirada campus of Pinecrest Academy of Nevada, the Keys Conservatory program is an integral part of the curriculum of three of our Pinecrest campuses. Pinecrest prides itself on offering Nevada’s only public middle school advanced music training and providing continuity in our music program from middle school directly to our new high school Conservatory Academy at Sloan Canyon.

Music programs all taut the proven adage that music improves intelligence. The Keys Conservatory not only understands this but also stresses and lives this truth in our pursuit of an outstanding musical experience for our students.

Students in high-quality school music education programs score higher on standardized tests than students in schools with deficient or nonexistent music education programs. The Keys Conservatory has fostered an exceptional music program for six years, and the academic test results of our students serves as demonstrable evidence of music education’s positive impact. The students participate in fun and personally fulfilling performances and realize overall academic improvement beyond the classroom.
