Overview
A consistent musical pathway, tailored to each student.
Structure with flexibility
Clear goals and close guidance, without turning learning into a rigid or one-size-fits-all process.
The Interartes Instrument Course supports students from their first steps through to advanced levels, combining technical development, music theory, ensemble practice and individual artistic growth.
The programme is adapted to each student’s age, maturity, previous experience and pace of progress. Students who already play can take an initial assessment to be placed at the most appropriate level.
This model continues a pedagogical tradition spanning more than 50 years, inspired by the foundational work of Jorge Lee and built on rigour, creativity, transparency and musical integration.
Core objective: to develop independent musicians who can understand, interpret, create and play with others.
Instruments available
Different instruments, the same pedagogical commitment.
Availability depends on teachers and timetables, while maintaining an individualised approach in every area.
Guitars and ukulele
Classical or electric guitar, chords, scales, sight-reading, improvisation, repertoire and stylistic language.
Drums and percussion
Coordination, pulse, rhythmic reading, technique, repertoire and the relationship between drums, bass and ensemble.
Bass guitar and double bass
Technique, groove, sight-reading, accompaniment, improvisation and the development of a solid musical role within the ensemble.
Voice
Breathing, intonation, diction, interpretation, repertoire, stage presence and healthy voice use.
Strings, woodwind and brass

Integrated learning
More than instrument lessons.
Complementary subjects are introduced progressively, helping students understand music, play independently and work with others.

Assessment and guidance
Assessment to guide, consolidate and recognise progress.

Continuous formative assessment
It considers technical, musical and expressive progress, participation, independence and the ability to apply the material covered.
Consolidation points
Each stage includes practical assessment and, when appropriate for the student’s age and level, a theoretical component. There is no written test for students under 12.
Programme details: detailed content for each level and the corresponding plans are available from the school office.
Frequently asked questions
Practical information before getting started.
Do all students begin at Level I?
No. Students with no previous experience normally begin at the initial level. Those who already play take a brief diagnostic assessment to be placed at the most appropriate level.
How does progression between levels work?
Progression depends on the consolidation of skills, attendance, commitment and the student’s maturity. Each case is monitored by the teacher and pedagogical coordination team.
Which subjects are included?
The pathway includes instrument lessons and music theory. At intermediate and advanced levels, ear training, combo or ensemble, music history and music technology may be added.
Are lessons individual or group-based?
Instrument lessons are preferably individual. Music theory, ear training, ensemble and combo may take place in small groups.
Which instruments can I choose?
Piano, classical or electric guitar, bass guitar, double bass, drums, voice, violin, cello, ukulele, wind instruments and others, subject to availability.
How is assessment carried out?
Assessment is continuous and formative, with practical and theoretical consolidation points adapted to the student’s age and level. There is no written theory test for students under 12.
Do students take part in public performances?
Yes. Throughout the year, there are student performances, recitals and group projects suited to each student’s pathway.
Can students choose between classical, jazz and pop-rock?
Yes. The pathway can focus on one of these styles, depending on the instrument, the student’s goals and pedagogical availability.
How are timetables arranged?
Timetables are arranged with the school, taking into account the availability of the student, teacher and teaching rooms.
