                Conservatory and Art Programs

                • Arts

                  Art provides an outlet for self-expression and an opportunity to do so without words, from the teaching of techniques and skills in various media to the teaching of art history and art appreciation, 

                • Drama

                  Students in theatre can perform in a variety of school plays, attend local plays in the city, and also become members of the Michigan Thespian Society. We serve students in grades K - 8

                • Dance

                   Here at Duke Ellington's Dance Conservatory, students from K-8th grade get an opportunity to learn a variety of Multicultural Dances from around the world; from "Funga Alafia", an African/ Nigerian welcome song, to Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and just this week "Merengue" the Dominican Republic's national dance that is done in pairs.  I believe the more our children learn about cultures different than their own, the more peaceful our world will be!!   

                • Band

                  Instrumental students can perform in marching bands, orchestra, jazz, and string combos.  Students also have opportunities and experiences to perform with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

                  Here at Duke Conservatory of Music and Art, our student's vocal music students learn a variety of music genres, and perform locally, nationally, and sometimes internationally. We serve grades K-8.
