About us
About us
* The School of Music of Bogotá was created in response to the great questions that loom in the academic and cultural environment and that impede the normal development of the artist (understanding this as a person of good technical level, a great intuition and, above all as an integral being) .
* Taking into account that music, like the other disciplines of the fine arts, provides opportunities for community integration, strengthens citizen coexistence and has various fields of action (in musical composition, interpretation , elaboration of arrangements, direction and musical production , formation of groups, etc).
* The School of Music of Bogotá bases its pedagogical work on practical experience and on a theoretical basis of the different artistic disciplines.

Reflections of the Founder
14 years ago the idea of creating a School of Music arose as a result of the need we saw in many students who wanted to dedicate their lives to Music or study this career but did not have enough training to pass the admission tests.
In addition, the fact of meeting people who wanted to study Music as a therapy or an additional activity to their respective professions, or Parents who saw in Music a complementary activity for their children, plus the contribution that Music offers to the mind through their implications at the cognitive level, concentration, coordination, etc., all this made me think about the importance of having the Institution.
EMBO began activities in the La Castellana neighborhood in the Second Semester of 2007, and from 2009 it moved to the Nueva Marsella neighborhood, where it is currently operating.
