Early yearsClassical
Three paths, one goal: getting you to really play. Every course is one-to-one, grows with you and takes you all the way to the Trinity College London exams.
A journey to grow up in harmony: play, singing, rhythm and listening to develop language, memory, coordination and creativity. The ideal first step before learning an instrument.
From your first lesson to a postgraduate degree: technique, repertoire and improvisation with concert-performing teachers, and qualifications recognised in Italy and abroad.
Performance, creativity and international standards: play in a band, sing the songs you love and prepare for the Trinity College London Rock & Pop exams.
We are becoming a point of reference for music across the Catania area.

Who is behind us
Amadeus Music School is a project of the UMAS Foundation – Union of Music, Art and Science, conceived by Riccardo Privitera, Filippo La Malfa and Viviana Tempera.
The Foundation promotes cultural events and educational projects that bring together music, art and science and foster dialogue between cultures: the school grew out of this vision, to bring high-quality music education, open to everyone, to Santa Maria di Licodia and Biancavilla.
Monthly fees from €50 for early years and from €120 for instrument courses, with recitals, concerts and insurance included. Water, tea, coffee and hot chocolate always free.
Operas, concerts and tours: our teachers perform with the Catania Philharmonic Orchestra in Sicily's most beautiful theatres — and our students watch from the front row.
