The study aimed to gain insight into the structure, nature and professional practice of a regional conservatorium, and identify innovative pedagogical possibilities. An ethnographic case study was undertaken over one year, with intensity ranging from weeklong immersion schedules to occasional short-term observation of activities. Schwab’s (1969) commonplaces of schooling (milieu, subject matter, students and teachers) were applied as a priori themes, providing a scaffold for preliminary classification and exploration of the data. Empirical themes were identified as they emerged through data analysis, and subsequently applied. A dominant finding of the study is the areas of intersection between the commonplaces of schooling: the triangulation of expertise (teacher, performer and musician); a curriculum design that is student centred; mechanisms to enhance the sustainability of a regional Conservatorium; adaptation of pre-established curricula; students need to be prepared fora musical life beyond the Conservatorium; and parental involvement is central for success.  \nKey words: Regional conservatorium, professional practice, teaching-learning music, commonplaces of schooling, ethnographic case study.  \nAustralian Journal of Music Education 2012:1, 80-91  \nIntroduction  \nRegional Conservatoriums of Music New South Wales (NSW), Australia are unique in that they are not associated with a tertiary institution and receive part funding from the State Government of NSW Department of Education and Training. No other Australian state or territory funds or part-funds non-tertiary conservatoriums located in regional areas. NSW Regional Conservatoriums are most often the principal provider of music education services for their region servicing schools, individuals, and the wider community through specialist instrumental and vocal training with emphasis on school-aged students and curriculum support for schools. Since their establishment in the late 1970s a network of  \nconservatoriums providing extensive music education services to almost 20,000 students in NSW regional communities has developed. In most cases, regional conservatoriums are teaching across wide geographical areas requiring specialist teachers to travel vast distances in order to provide students in outlying communities, villages and cities with access to them. The majority of these outreach programs are working exclusively with NSW Public Schools. Klopper (2009) highlighted the fundamental aim of regional conservatoriums as: ‘attempting to provide equity for students in remote areas having the same access to music education opportunities, as do their city counterparts’  \n(p. 36) .  \nWhile much research has been conducted in music classrooms and on instructional settings within public schools, comparatively little systematic inquiry has been directed towards private teaching studios, especially those outside the auspices of tertiary institutions. Music teaching and learning in these contexts remains largely outside the realm of curricular review or pedagogical scrutiny (Montemayor, 2008) . Bridges (1988, p. 49) stated that music studio teaching was the ‘backbone’ of Australian music education, acknowledging that ‘many children and older students owe their personal musical development primarily to studio teachers who give individual lessons’. Further to this, Breen and Hogg (1999, p. 49) made the comment that‘the private instrumental music teacher carries a great responsibility for the music education of children’. The private music studio environment is a neglected area of research in music education (Lierse, 2007a), yet it is fundamental to music education in the Australian culture.
