About us

About the Founder

The Miriam School of Music was founded by Itamar Rashkovsky, an internationally award-winning violinist. With a love of sharing music through education - he currently serves as a violin professor at leading UK conservatoires, including the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and at the Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Challenges for Kids Studying Music in the UK

The UK is home to some of the world’s best conservatoires, boasting 5 of the world’s top 8 conservatoires according to the 2024 QS University Rankings. However, when it comes to educating under-18s, the conservatoire programmes run exclusively on Saturdays!

This leaves students who practice their spirituality on Saturdays between a rock and a hard place - either don’t observe your faith and spiritual practices, or miss out on the highest level of musical education that the country has to offer.

Our Offering

The Miriam School of Music was founded to tackle this challenge. With every teacher having studied or taught at a leading conservatoire, MSM aims to bring conservatoire-level education to all students on Sundays. Some of our lessons are also available online and during the week at your home.

Our Mission

MSM’s mission is to further develop our talented community by providing accessible conservatoire-level education in a way that doesn’t compromise our Saturdays.

Let’s go - join us in this mission!
