Although the school mainly specialises in music, other subjects are also taught to pupils such as maths, physics, literature and languages. The school is open from Monday to Friday between the hours of 08:00 to 3:15.HistoryThe opening of the music school came about due to the demand for a music school from the Music School's Arts Committee . When the school was founded in 1993, it had only 10 teachers: P. Giannakitsa, T. Tsimpouri, E. xatzinikolaou, K. Loukas, B. Kattavenakis, H. Anastasiadis, S. Perselis, G. Paragios, E. Statha, I. Dermitzakis and N. Zervos .The announcement of the creation of the school received lots of negative reactions from the public. Many people felt uninterested or suspicious about the idea. Others were doubtful at the idea of a school which was so different from any other schools, specialising in one particular subject.
