We want to inspire people through music, build confidence and support personal growth.
Welcome to Music Campus Essen, your music school for children, teens and adults. We help people of all ages discover and develop their musical skills: beginners who want to get to know an instrument in a playful way, just as much as advanced players who want to take their skills further. With a personal learning atmosphere, motivating lessons and individual support.
We combine musical fundamentals with creative learning and modern teaching. You can start without a long wait, guided by experienced teachers.

From classical and rock to jazz.
Musical diversity is at the heart of what we do: lessons for many instruments and styles: piano, guitar, singing, drums and seven more subjects. We don't think of music in boxes: our lessons range from classical to pop and rock all the way to jazz, as diverse as Essen itself. We support musical growth through openness, curiosity and the joy of music.

How does the trial lesson work?

Do I need my own instrument?
Not for the trial lesson: we have pianos, drums, amps and much more ready for you. For practising at home, your own instrument is worth it later on; we're happy to advise you and put you in touch with a local music shop.
