Final answer:

The statement "Tchaikovsky became a professor of harmony at the St. Petersburg Conservatory." is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky did not become a professor of harmony at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. While he was a student at the Conservatory and later became a professor of music theory, harmony, and orchestration at the Moscow Conservatory, he did not hold a position as a professor of harmony at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Tchaikovsky is renowned for his contributions to Russian classical music, particularly his compositions, including ballets like "Swan Lake" and "The Nutcracker," but his teaching career was primarily associated with the Moscow Conservatory. Hence the answer is false.
