L'Espace Musical is a non-profit association. Since it was founded in 1992, its main aim has been to make music accessible to all without cultural, physical or social exclusion.

The only association to have created its own scholarship fund, the Sostenuto fund, as early as 2000, Espace Musical was also the first music school in Geneva to follow a policy of solidarity, as early as 2005, with fees staggered according to income.

The association's main missions

• Foster children's musical learning through innovative pedagogy that responds to their need for creativity and autonomy

• Provide accessible lessons, with no prerequisites, and a flexible, structured path for each student from infancy to adolescence

• Offer lessons for children with special needs or disabilities

• Encourage instrumental practice among children in Geneva by running music workshops in schools and day-care centers

• Share our pedagogicalpedagogical know-how with early childhood and DIP professionals through training courses

In June 2010, Espace Musical was accredited by the DIP and joined the Confédération des écoles genevoises de musique, danse et théâtre (CEGM).
