The Muses at Schule Schloss Salem

Art, Music and Theater

In Salem's boarding school life and its educational philosophy of educating to take on responsibility activities outside the classroom play an important role. Children and young adults have a unique variety of opportunities to gain new experiences in widely different areas, to follow their interests and their talents, and to develop their personalities continuously.

Singing and Learning a Musical Instrument

As a rule music lessons are conducted individually on a voluntary basis outside of regular classroom hours. Lessons take place on the school campus and are given by private teachers whose fees are paid by the student's parents. All students taking music lessons (instrumental or singing) may take the internationally recognized ABRSM examinations Salem's students are regularly amongst the prizewinners at the regional and national level of Germany's music competition, "Jugend musiziert".
