conservatory
Let an agent explain conservatories as music schools and their levels, relay organisation, admission and degrees from education sources, describe national systems such as the Spanish and French models, and distinguish conservatories from university music departments, general music schools and the glasshouse sense.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain conservatories as music schools and their levels, relay organisation, admission and degrees from education sources, describe national systems such as the Spanish and French models, and distinguish conservatories from university music departments, general music schools and the glasshouse sense.
An institution of higher or professional education in music and often dance and drama, offering performance, composition and theory training from pre-college through degree and postgraduate levels, in forms such as the French Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et de Danse, the Spanish system of municipal, professional and higher conservatories such as those of Barakaldo, Sestao and Ibiza and Formentera, Swedish music colleges and the conservatories of Italy, Russia and the Americas; the word also names a glazed room for plants, a separate sense.
What it is for: Professional music and performing arts education.
It can be explain the institution and levels; relay systems and admission; describe national models; distinguish related institutions.
