The Bush Conservatory of Music was a conservatory of music established by William L. Bush in 1901. It flourished for the first part of the 1900's and was the first music conservatory to offer dormitories for out-of-state students who wished to study with its illustrious faculty. In 1924, this conservatory participated in the formation of the National Association of Schools of Music along with five other institutions at the bequest of Burnet C. Tuthill, General Manager of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. According to Tuthill's history of NASM, the Bush Conservatory of Music closed in the year 1932.[1]
