Whether first musical experiences, regular instrumental lessons or focused preparation for music studies: we advise families personally and find a suitable course together.
Instrumental and singing lessons, individually or in small groups.
Singing, moving and making music for young children – with or without an accompanying adult.
Lessons and making music together are possible at any age.
Instruments & singing
Instrumental and singing lessons, individually or in small groups. Our teachers teach at all of the music school’s locations — which form of lessons and which location are right is something we arrange in person.
Our subjects
How you begin
It starts with a conversation. We ask about age, previous experience and how much practice time is realistic — and we say openly if an instrument currently has no free place or if a different start would make more sense.
If you are still undecided, you do not have to choose: at the taster days in July your child can get to know up to two instruments in a free trial lesson. For children who would like to discover several instruments, there is the Detective instrument search — a whole school year across the orchestral instruments.
Not on your own
Instrumental lessons here are not a solitary path. Anyone learning a wind or string instrument can play in an ensemble after only a few months — the Bläserbande and the Streichhölzer exist for exactly that.
Fees and registration
The lesson fees and the terms are set out under Fees & terms. Registration is done through the registration form; the office then gets in touch with a proposal for teacher, location and time.
