The history of Tallinn School of Music began in 1944 when the first music

classes for children were organized at Tallinn Conservatoire.

Since 1954 Tallinn School of Music has been operating as an independent

institution and since 1958 the school has been located at 28 Narva Road.

an opportunity to learn all orchestral instruments. There are classes held
