Rating of the best music schools in Novosibirsk in 2020

Music school is not only an opportunity to learn 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), mobility of fingers 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 will come in handy in life.

At the same time, the wrong choice of educational institution can forever discourage a child or an adult from all desire to study music. So how can you make the right choice and not be mistaken 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, an individual approach is selected for each student.
2. A budgetary educational institution is on the balance sheet of the state, classes in it are free (there is the possibility of additional paid classes). In order to get to school, it is necessary to pass an introductory test (sing a pre-prepared song, recite a poem, complete simple tasks on the sense of rhythm and musical ear). Classes are held in groups (classes), the training program is approved by the ministry, a qualification exam is passed at the end of each year, and homework is completed in the learning process. 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 will teach everything you need for a fee. The cost of training with an individual teacher is often lower than in a private educational institution, and the quality of training 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 preference. In addition to the type of study, there are several rules that should be considered when choosing an educational institution.

1. Staff of teachers.
   It is no secret that the quality of the acquired knowledge directly depends on the level of the teacher. At the same time, he does not have to be a good musician, but must be able to convey knowledge well to the student. Parents often 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 teaching techniques and 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 of 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 (this can be piano, violin, vocals). Therefore, if a child wants to become a famous violinist, it is worth looking for a school in which the violin class will be strong. Specialization information can also be found in reviews.
3. Participation of students in music competitions.
   The higher the level of the school, the more often its students become winners of music competitions and contests. Information about participation and victories is available on the official websites of the schools.
4. School level.
   Like any educational institution among all music schools, one can be distinguished, which is famous for its level of education, and its name alone is already a so-called "quality mark". Therefore, if the child subsequently plans to study music professionally, enter the conservatory, then you should pay attention to such a school. The learning process in it will probably be more difficult than in the usual one, but for further development it will be an advantage.
5. The location of the educational institution.
   If the child does not plan to associate further life with music (that is, a high-quality teacher who works on the other side of the city is not required), then it is worth choosing a school that is closer to home in order to spend less time on the road.
6. Child comfort.
   The learning outcome 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 such an educational institution so that the child himself wants to attend classes. Sometimes this will require changing several schools, but the results will be worth it.

Considering these moments, we will compile a rating of the best schools in Novosibirsk in 2020, both private and budgetary. All of them have a highly qualified staff, the ability to find a trip to the student, and their students are prize winners of the competition.
