Why Elite?
We are Dedicated, Prestigious and Resultative.
"Many children give up on an instrument after a short period of time. This is where the
Elite Music Institute of Abu Dhabi is different. Out of the school’s 150 or so pupils, 80
per cent will stay with the institute’s 5-8 year programme until graduation – a rarity in
the region" - The Sound of Music, Emirates Review.
