In music, institution for education in musical performance and composition. The term and institution derives from the Italian conservatorio, which in the Renaissance period and earlier denoted an orphanage often attached to a hospital. The children there were given musical training; the term gradually came to apply to music schools.

They're very competitive schools that are specifically concentrated on music. Conservatories require an audition to get into them, or a portfolio if you are interested in composition or music theory. Usually focused on music performance with an emphasis on private lessons.
Hope that helps!
