The Conservatoire de l’Oeust Vaudois (COV) is now open for the “Rentrée” (back to school). This music school set along Nyon’s lake side, offers music courses for all ages from learning guitar, piano and other musical instruments to singing lessons, choral work, jazz, theatre etc. Many of the teachers at this prestigious school speak English. The COV hosts regular performances by visiting artists and by its own students. If you walk along the lakeside in front of the building you can often hear music wafting out of the windows from someone playing the piano to playing the drums!
