music loft, Freie Musikschule

“Making music at any age – from early music education to targeted preparation for music studies, from the ambitious young rock or jazz musician to the adult after-work musician.” music loft – Freie Musikschule Aachen was founded in 1989 as the teaching arm of the Gesellschaft für zeitgenössische Musik Aachen and is now supported by the non-profit Förderverein Freie Musikschule music loft Aachen e.V.; the school is headed by Manou Liebert, and around 27 teachers teach here.

The focus is on new music, improvised music and jazz; lessons are offered in all instrument families and singing, individually or in small groups, plus early music education from age three, ensembles and choir, programmes for people over 40 as well as theory, songwriting and music production. The school's home is the Klangbrücke between the bus station and the Altes Kurhaus: “Besides various rooms for music lessons and the music school's office, the Klangbrücke also houses an excellent stage on which our students and ensembles can gain their first performance experience in front of an audience.”
