Summary

One of the principal foundations for instrumental music culture in Naples was supplied by the educational system of the Neapolitan conservatories. Rather than a critical investigation of their (well-known) histories, this chapter elucidates an understanding of their cultural, social, and educational identities, forming a holistic portrait of these establishments. Several areas of operation are examined, including the institutional culture, the admission process, the financial operation (in brief terms), and the basic training of students, as well as particular reference to responsibilities and opportunities geared toward artistic formation.
