You can start learning most instruments at an early age at Malmö Musikskola! We have courses starting from the age of 4. In our beginner classes we teach the basics of playing an instrument, from how to hold the instrument to reading music and playing with others. For some instruments, such as drums and vocal technique, it may be better to start when the children are a little older to develop the right technique.
At Malmö Musikskola we have lessons in violin, cello, basspiano, guitar, drums, trumpet and singing. You can see our courses and book your place here.
It is very helpful to have your own instrument when you start. It allows you to practice at home what we work on during the lessons and develop your skills faster. You will need to bring your own guitar, bass, saxophone, trumpet, violin or cello. Pianos and drums as well as bass- and guitar amplifiers are available at the school.
As a piano beginner, we recommend that you get at least a keyboard, 5 octave (61 keys) with touch (pressure sensitivity) so you can practice playing soft and loud. For example, a Yamaha PSR-E373. If you already know you want to study for a longer period, a digital piano is an excellent option. Our suppliers Juhl-Sørensen and Malmö Musikaffär offer our students good discounts. Malmö Musikskola does not receive any commission or benefit for this, but has only negotiated some good deals for our students.
For guitar, bass and drums, Malmö Musikaffär also offers good deals for our students. Talk to your teacher about the instrument you want to buy and they can give you good advice.
For string instruments (cello, violin): Malmö Musikskola rents violins to its students. Nylund and Son provide rental cellos and send them to Malmö. Several of our students have rented from them, but Malmö Music School has no active cooperation with them.
Wind instruments: Windcorp rents out wind instruments at favorable prices. They have a shop in Malmö. Malmö Music School does not have any active cooperation with them.
All our singing or instrumental lessons are individual, but the school also holds lessons in ensemble playing and music theory for our students. These are in groups.
The first lesson is important as you will meet your teacher and they will get to know your previous knowledge and goals in music. The aim is to plan lessons so that you can take your first steps in music with a focus on what you want to achieve. From the very first lesson, you will get to play and feel like you can!
We plan lessons so that each one builds on the next - each new lesson builds on the last, making it easier for students to learn faster and stay motivated.
