Offenbach Music School

The Musikschule Offenbach am Main e.V. has been in existence for more than 50 years. Today, with 1,500 pupils and 60 teachers, it is one of the largest music schools in Hesse. In the city of Offenbach, the music school offers lessons at its headquarters and at around 40 other locations throughout Offenbach. The school's extensive offer can be used from the age of one and a half years. There is no upper age limit.

Personal contacts, inquiries, consultations and registrations, work shadowing and trial lessons are gladly arranged and accepted. Appointments are also possible by appointment. The school offers a varied and highly qualified musical education, teaches all musical subjects and styles and cooperates in many ways with other cultural and educational institutions. In accordance with the objectives of the VdM (Association of German Music Schools), those responsible at the Offenbach Music School focus on a contemporary perception of music education work. In particular, the work with children and young people should make a noticeable contribution to the realization of equal opportunities. In addition, the bringing together of generations, the integration of marginalized and disadvantaged groups and the peaceful and constructive coexistence of the many nationalities living in Offenbach are of great importance.
