If you’re still looking to chase your childhood dream of being a professional musician or to take on a new, joy-boosting hobby, here are some suggestions for centres in Cairo that will get you one or two steps closer to your musical aspirations and passions!

5- Cairo Music Center (Heliopolis)

When talking about music learning, we must mention one of the oldest centres in Cairo. Established in 1989 by Dr Mohamed El-Tobgy, Cairo Music Center is now widely considered the best music school in Egypt. CMC is a serious institution for committed musicians, but that doesn’t mean the methods it uses to teach music aren’t entertaining. CMC places a premium on the bond between a student and their instrument, emphasising the positive emotions generated by musical expression.
