East Jerusalem
The East Jerusalem branch of the Conservatory is situated in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
Our primary aim is to provide professional music education in accordance with the Conservatory's curriculum in West Jerusalem to communities in East Jerusalem, particularly the Arab sector. We seek to bridge the gap in music education between East and West Jerusalem, catering to those who cannot afford the tuition fees.

Musical Excellence in East Jerusalem
The branch is open to students from the ages of 3 to 18. Students can enlist in various musical courses and learn many musical instruments, including eastern and western ones. They also have the possibility of participating in the voice refinement course, the young musicians course (for ages 3 to 5), choirs, and playing in eastern and western orchestras.
Every student at the branch takes theoretical lessons, where they learn written music laws with the aim of helping them to better understand music, and to progress in practical playing or singing lessons.
We evaluate students on their playing or singing abilities through musical exams held at the middle and end of the academic year.
