Conservatoire royal d'Anvers - Antwerp

For prospective piano students. The piano faculty cannot offer objective feedback most of the times. They will make unnecessary remarks that will not help one develop as a musician. Better to practise hard and audition at a different school. Teachers like Polina Leschenko are famous but completely narrow minded and don't see anything beyond their own ideas. Only what they think matters and very highly opinionated because of course ! their lack of taste in music is very good in their opinion. The school has hardly produced any international level pianists because of the lack of their teaching skills. Join the school and become a victim of these music DICTATORS at your own risk. They can suck themselves. Bad teaching skills, extremely self focused pigs. They need some pedagogical training. Being a performer alone doesn't suffice the requirement of being good teachers. What's the point if you cannot equip your students well enough. Shame.

A very good conservatory with friendly teachers and students. Of course there are a lot of challenges in internationalization and I hope it gets better and better!

Maybe not a lot of people read these reviews, but it is worth every word. Ignorance. Not international. Not humane.
I read more reviews below mentioning social exclusion acts, offensive behavior by a whole academic institution.
For me, as I was (well not now) a prospective student, I had some experiences of harassment and abuse from students there, and my call for a help to a somewhat "responsible" *jazz bass teacher* there, was completely ignored (so far, two weeks), covered up and probably forgotten. My emails were in English it probably bothered them to translate it?
I have no words left.
If you are international at least avoid, stay safe and respect yourself.
These people don't care about the basic safety of an individual.
Only about their picture perfect "shows".

Okey, but you have fix the table soccer of the cantine. Even so, the quality of the glasses of the cantine is very good indeed.

Completely unacceptable.

Every educational institution should take responsibility for things that happen outside of its premises as well, if their students and teachers are involved in it. A student in this school was seriously abusing and harassing another person (who also happened to be a prospective student), and a teacher there was completely ignoring (even went as far as to block the student on social media) their call for help. The school knows about it very well, as they have been sent descriptions of what happened, along with lots of solid proof of harassment and inhumane behaviour, yet they decide to do nothing about it. Their response to having students and teachers who act in this manner is to simply face the other way and pretend nothing is happening. Something is happening, and if this place wants to call themselves an educational facility (and an artistic one at that) they cannot ignore something like this.

Accountability and caring with massive difference in real life let me say, this school keeps not being called out for heavy matters and their obvious lack of initiative. showing their lack of safe community or any social skills. Teaching should be a term for also people that need emotional guidance. We are also talking about art for heavens sake. Why let these people be in charge?Some of my friendly regards

no stars should be there this isn't even about rating this "educational" space.
One of my closest friends was sexcsually harassed by one student there, and another one of their students emotionally dragged it too far, threatened and more unkind online activity. And real life too.
The school has been sent at least 10 emails with SOLID proof of the online cyber activity that is aggressive, the statements about abuse etc.
They have been ignoring the emails since day one, answered NOTHING back and continue to try to not bother with the issue while students of theirs still receive praise and education.
Sad sad sad. Inhumanity at its finest.

You’re not gonna get very far by sweeping the truth under the rug and by blocking young people trying to speak the truth. More and more people are learning about the sickening actions of one of your students. Allowing harassers to study freely at your campus is unacceptable. And having one of your teachers block the people speaking the truth is only going to make the word get known by more and more people. You can’t avoid addressing this forever, people are going to demand an answer until it’s properly given and proper measures are taken.
