Musikschule Bad Nauheim

In the page's words:

The Bad Nauheim Music School was founded in 1981 by a group of committed parents under the auspices of a non-profit association. From the very beginning, the initially small music school was supported by the town. This enabled it to grow into the important educational institution it is today.

Since 2004, the Bad Nauheim Music School has been run by a "non-profit limited company", whose shareholders are the town of Bad Nauheim (49%) and the "Förderverein Musikschule Bad Nauheim e.V." (51%).

The city of Bad Nauheim ensures the existence of its music school through continuous subsidies and, since 1997, by providing a teaching building, since 2019 the former Balneological Institute in the Sprudelhof. As a public educational institution, the music school receives further annual subsidies from the state of Hesse and the Wetterau district. It is a member of the Association of German Music Schools (VdM) and can call itself a "state-funded music school" in accordance with Hessian guidelines.

Its core tasks are instrumental and singing lessons for children and young people, musical education for pre-school and toddlers, a wide range of ensemble and orchestral work and the organization of concerts. The aim of the lessons is to cover a wide range of subjects, which regularly results in top performances. Talented and motivated pupils are prepared for a career with a musical focus.

The music school has an average weekly enrolment of 1,900 children, young people and adults (as at 2019). Every week, around 700 lessons are taught by 54 professional music and instrumental teachers.
