The Royal Conservatory The Hague offers courses for organ and church music. There is a curriculum for improvisation which can be followed separately or in combination with courses on interprtation. Together with the conservatory training, musicology can be studied. For the latter, the Royal Conservatory cooperates with the University of Utrecht; the cooperation is contextualised within the Academy for Music. The Royal Conservatory has optimal facilities for international students.

The Conservatory Alkmaar offers courses for organ and church music, both of which can be followed on a part time basis.
