The Amati Conservatory,
a unique classical music school, trains young musicians with
the goal of attaining highest achievement. Those who have a commitment
to excellence and a strong desire to learn are encouraged to
enroll. Students at Amati are required to practice daily, take
lessons and perform at the level of young professionals. Amati
Conservatory students have won top prizes in competitions and
have performed as soloists with orchestras and in recitals. Many
have gone to further their studies at some of the finest conservatories
in the country. One of the goals of the founders of this school
was to bring the finest musical instruction to students in northern
New Jersey who in the past had to travel long distances, often
out of state, in order to pursue quality classical music training.
The school has realized this objective by recruiting faculty
of the highest caliber with the best credentials in their fields.
The school's teachers world class artists have strong
backgrounds as graduates from the leading music schools of the
world. Some of our faculty members have been top prize winners
of international competitions; others have enjoyed international
performing careers; all share a passion for teaching and making
music.
Ideally located in the small town of Tenafly in northern New Jersey, Amati Conservatory students get the benefit of a beautiful community location and proximity to the rich cultural life of New York City. In many occasions, the school has organized trips to hear great concert artists in performance. Students draw great inspiration from seeing, hearing and meeting these exciting stars of the classical music world.
The Amati Conservatory
offers individual lessons in piano, violin, viola, cello, flute,
clarinet, string bass, guitar, and saxophone. Most students receive two lessons a
week, thus obtaining careful guidance and maintaining weekly
goals of achievement. These lessons are complemented by classes
in music theory and ear training, as well as by opportunities
to perform in numerous school concerts. When students attain
a proficient level, they are scheduled to perform at school performances
in New Jersey or professionally arranged concerts in New York
City. Students at the Amati Conservatory participate in regular
performance classes, both as performers and as members of the
audience. Being a small private music school that emphasizes
individual attention to all of its students, the school's faculty
is able to nurture and guide each student regardless of age or
level. The school accepts students of varied levels from young
beginner to advanced.
Although not every child that studies music will necessarily become a professional artist, it is nonetheless the belief of the school founders that music needs to be encouraged with the utmost dedication at an early age. This is necessary for the young musician to become truly accomplished. The path to become a refined musician is long and requires a strong commitment that will need to be fulfilled by the students with the support of their families. The students will in turn acquire a discipline that will become part of their lives a discipline that they will apply to everything they do.
