Rating of the best music schools in Novosibirsk in 2022

A music school is not only an opportunity to learn how to play a musical instrument, but also a good way for the harmonious development of a person, both an adult and a child. Studying at a music school develops the skill of “listening and hearing” (which will be useful in the future for learning foreign languages), finger mobility and fine motor skills, teaches discipline and composure. It also expands the horizons and musical taste, and participation in various open lessons and music competitions helps to get rid of the fear of public speaking, which is useful in life.

At the same time, the wrong choice of an educational institution can forever discourage a child or an adult from all the desire to study music. So how do you make the right choice and not make a mistake with the school? This and the best music schools in Novosibirsk will be discussed below.

Criterias of choice.

To begin with, it is worth finding out what types of educational institutions exist:

1. Private educational institution - in which all classes are paid, both adults and children can study. Classes are held in small groups, often individually, with an individual approach to each student.
2. Budgetary educational institution - is on the balance of the state, classes in it are free (there is a possibility of additional paid classes). In order to get into the school, you must pass an entrance test (sing a song prepared in advance, recite a poem, complete simple tasks for a sense of rhythm and musical ear).Classes are held in groups (classes), the training program is approved by the ministry, a qualifying exam is taken at the end of each year, and homework is done during the training. In addition to learning to play a musical instrument, students attend vocal classes, study solfeggio, music history and other theoretical disciplines.
3. Individual lessons with a teacher. To do this, it is enough to choose a teacher who, for a fee, will teach everything you need. The price of studying with an individual teacher is often lower than in a private educational institution, while the quality of education can be higher. Indeed, in the process of teaching music, a lot depends on the teacher and his ability to present the material.

The choice of the type of training depends only on personal preferences. In addition to the type of training, there are several rules that should be considered when choosing an educational institution.

1. Staffing of teachers.
   It is no secret that the quality of the knowledge gained directly depends on the level of the teacher. At the same time, he does not have to be a good musician, but he must be able to convey knowledge well to the student. Often parents make the mistake of thinking that the level of a teacher depends on his age - the older he is, the more experience he has, and if the teacher is young, then most likely he will not be able to teach the child anything. This is not entirely true: a young teacher may be genuinely passionate about music and pedagogy and devote time to learning new techniques and teaching methods. And a teacher with many years of experience can approach his work formally. Therefore, before choosing an educational institution, it is worth reading reviews on teachers, talking with the parents of other students attending this school, and then getting to know the chosen teacher personally.
2. Strengths of the educational institution (specialization).
   Formally, each music school provides training in all available areas, but in practice each institution has its own strong class (it can be piano, violin, vocals). Therefore, if a child wants to become a famous violinist, it is worth looking for a school where the violin class will be strong. Information about the specialization can also be found in the reviews.
3. Participation of students in musical competitions.
   The higher the level of the school, the more often its students become winners of music competitions and competitions. Information about participation and victories is on the official websites of schools.
4. School level.
   Like any educational institution, among all music schools, one can be singled out, which is famous for its level of education, and its name alone is already the so-called “quality mark”. Therefore, if the child later plans to professionally study music, enter the conservatory, then you should pay attention to such a school. The learning process in it will certainly be more difficult than in the usual one, but for further development it will be an advantage.
5. Location of the educational institution.
   If the child does not plan to connect his future life with music (that is, he does not need a high-class teacher who works on the other side of the city), then you should choose a school that is closer to home in order to spend less time on the road.
6. Child comfort.
   The result of training will directly depend on whether the child likes the process itself or not. If he is not comfortable, not interested, then there will be no result. It is worth choosing an educational institution so that the child himself wants to attend classes. Sometimes this will require changing several schools, but the result will be worth it.

Given these points, we will rank the best schools in Novosibirsk in 2022, both private and public. All of them have a highly qualified staff, the ability to find a way to the student, and their students are winners of the competition.
