Instrumental Studies


Dear Candidates,

I very well remember the moment when I had to decide on my musical career path. Today, in hindsight, I realize that the choice of the place of study is one of the most important decisions in a young artist’s life.

If you are passionate of music and dream of a professional musical career – you’ve found the right place. Our graduates succeed all over the world, and their way to success has started right here.
