Cincinnati School of Music was founded in 2012 and has served the north Cincinnati suburbs for thirteen years. The school has grown to five locations with more than 60 teachers and over 1,000 active students. It is locally owned and locally run, and families from Montgomery, Blue Ash, Symmes Township, Kenwood, Indian Hill, and nearby areas attend for private instruction. Its stated mission is to inspire, to change lives through music, and to foster creativity, confidence, and grit in students of all ages. Teachers are hired for their ability to teach and connect, and every teacher is described as good at teaching, not just good at music. Cincinnati School of Music has been voted Best of the North for Music Instruction by Cincy Magazine readers for ten consecutive years. Office staff are available seven days a week, and siblings can schedule back-to-back lessons when possible. Lessons are offered on a consistent weekly schedule with month-to-month enrollment and no long-term commitment required. One location features the motto “Dream big. Work hard. Play music.” on the wall.
Parent reviews describe friendly staff, individualized instruction, clear communication, and students participating in multiple recitals. Parents report children studying drums, piano, and voice, with some composing their own music and practicing frequently at home. Several parents note returning to Cincinnati School of Music after trying other schools and describe the organization as well run and easy to schedule.
