conservatorio noun

When we met, Emma was twenty-three and I was her piano teacher at the Academy of Music, fourteen years her senior, happily married and the father of two delightful children.
Cuando nos conocimos, Emma tenía veintitrés, yo era su profesor de piano en el conservatorio, catorce años mayor que ella, bien casado, padre de dos hijos encantadores.

Soon Professor Ziegel, the smiling, pompous singing-master, would arrive in his morning-coat, to accompany you on the piano that is tuned too high, and he has every reason to be satisfied with you, considering the handsome fee he receives for his lessons. And he is certainly included in the emotion that overcomes everybody who belongs to society in that poor provincial town whenever the little girl sings her little songs, on winter evenings, after dinner—why must Pastor Bandix make her grow, why must he send her to the Academy of Music, why must he give her the leading part in ‘The Bartered Bride’? But he swung himself up higher and higher on the rungs of that career, mentioning small theatres and her friendship with the composer Friedrich Drewes, who wrote nocturnes and arias for her, mentioned the unceasing care she took of her paralysed brother, and then at last he brought in Max Ludwig Nansen and their first meeting in the Post Office, where both of them were asking whether money had arrived for them and both of them—as they had probably expected—received nothing but a shake of the head from the man behind the grille.
Más tarde llegó el profesor Ziegel, el sonriente y solemne maestro de canto con levita que se alegraba si eras capaz de alcanzar los agudos del piano; un profesor que recibía unos considerables honorarios por cada hora de clase y que se emocionaba en las reuniones de sociedad de aquella pequeña localidad cada vez que la pequeña interpretaba una canción, ya fuera al final de una velada invernal o durante los postres… Deseé con todas mis fuerzas que aquella muchacha tierna y extenuada permaneciera joven para siempre. No entendía por qué el pastor Bandix se empeñaba en hacerla crecer, en enviarla al conservatorio y en que interpretara su primer papel en la ópera La novia vendida, pero lo cierto es que fue recorriendo tranquilamente su nueva vida: mencionó los pequeños escenarios, su amistad con el compositor Friedrich Drews, que llegó a componer nocturnos y arias para ella, el cuidado ininterrumpido que le profesó a su hermano paralítico, hasta que por fin entró en escena Max Ludwig Nansen.
