The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, known at one time as the Brooklyn-Queens Conservatory of Music,{{citation needed|date=September 2019}} is a music conservatory located in Brooklyn, New York City. It offers a broad range of instruction in areas of American song, jazz and gospel singing, Latin jazz, and African drumming. The conservatory was founded in 1897 by German-American immigrants as a classical European conservatory.{{cite book| last = Freudenheim| first = Ellen|author2=Anna Wiener| title = Brooklyn!, 3rd Edition| publisher = Macmillan| year = 2004| location = New York| pages = 357| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=HIxPgnmtQlcC&dq=%22Brooklyn+Conservatory+of+Music%22&pg=PA355| isbn = 0-312-32331-X}}

The conservatory was initially located at Franklin Avenue and Lefferts Place. In 1944 it moved to occupy an 1881 five-story mansion at 58 Seventh Avenue, Park Slope, Brooklyn, which had been built in 1881 as the residence of M. Brasher, and subsequently became the Park Slope Masonic Club. The building was designed by S. F. Evelette in the Victorian Gothic style, with Queen Anne elements.{{cite aia5|page=660}}{{cite book| last = Kamil| first = Seth |author2=Seth Kamil |author3=Eric Wakin |author4=Kevin Baker | title = The Big Onion Guide to Brooklyn: Ten Historic Walking Tours| year = 2005| publisher = NYU Press| location = New York| pages = [https://archive.org/details/bigonionguidetob00seth/page/141 141]| url = https://archive.org/details/bigonionguidetob00seth| url-access = registration| isbn = 0-8147-4785-X}}{{cite web| title = Brooklyn Conservatory of Music - Music School| work = School Information| publisher = Bridge to Music| year = 2004| url = http://www.bridgetomusic.com/brooklyn-conservatory-of-music-btm60.php| accessdate = 2009-02-04}} It is located in the Park Slope Historic District.
