Windcraft Music Centre
Meet the art of wind instruments!
Who we are
The Windcraft brand
Our vision to create a space dedicated to the wind instruments started in 2012, with the opening of the Windcraft Music Centre - a music school in the heart of Nicosia with a special focus on winds.
Two years later, the Windcraft Band was created. This multicultural wind band performs since then in public spaces and events.
In 2016, the non-profit organisation Windcraft Loud came to life, with the aim to promote wind instruments and music creativity in general through festivals, events and workshops.
Windcraft Music Centre specialises in the teaching of wind musical instruments by qualified and experienced teachers and promotes the establishment of various wind ensembles.
The 20-member wind band celebrates their passion for music and fills up the city and village squares with their powerful brass sound.
In 2016 our team founded the non-profit organisation "Windcraft Loud", which is active in organising cultural events and the annual Windcraft Music Fest.
Windcraft Music Centre
Windcraft Music Centre specialises in the teaching of wind musical instruments by qualified and experienced teachers and promotes the establishment of various wind ensembles.
Our aim at Windcraft Music Centre is to provide high-quality, bespoke musical tuition primarily in all wind instruments and in different music styles (classical, jazz, folk music), but also in piano, knowledge of which is essential not only to students wishing to follow a pianist’s path but also to all musicians of any specialty. Moreover, we offer guitar and drums lessons, as well as group classes in djembe drumming and traditional singing.
We also strive to promote our students’ participation in concerts, either as soloists, or part of a musical ensemble. Alongside individual music classes, we also offer one-to-one or group classes in music theory, aural training, and participation in musical ensembles and bands.
Our students may, after extensive preparation and consultation with their teacher, take the internationally recognised music qualifications offered by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music or the Trinity College. These are offered twice a year in Cyprus or online. Taking these exams is not compulsory, but highly recommended, in order to accurately evaluate progress and improve students’ confidence.
Our Τeaching Staff.
Windcraft Music Centre’s team is made up of a group of qualified and experienced young teachers who are also artistically very active. Their professionalism, enthusiasm and passion for music and teaching ensure productive lessons, our students' success and an overall high teaching level.
