Ekko Musikkinstitutt

Bentsegata 1B, Sagene

A private music school in Sagene teaching since 1989, with weekly one to one lessons in piano, singing, guitar and santoor. The youngest pupils are taken from age five or six, and lessons run 30, 45 or 60 minutes depending on age and level. Teaching follows the school year with around 36 weeks, and two of the school's four pupil concerts are for children and teenagers, voluntary and free. The santoor is a Persian string instrument rarely taught elsewhere in the city, so a child can start on something quite different from the usual instruments. The school also teaches adults, so siblings and parents can attend the same place.
