Haría opens enrolment at its music school: you can start at three

The municipality of Haría has opened enrolment for the 2026/2027 year at its Escuela Municipal de Enseñanzas Musicales. There's time until the end of the month, or until the places are gone: the two don't coincide, and usually the second comes first.

The list of disciplines is longer than you'd expect from a municipal school: musical foundations, percussion, timple, guitar, singing, drums, piano, folk music. And two entries you wouldn't expect in a village of two thousand in the island's north: electronic music and an introduction to DJing.

Teaching is split into two cycles. The first is aimed at children aged 3 to 7 — an age at which you don't teach an instrument, you teach listening.

Why it matters

The timple in the middle of that list isn't postcard folklore: it's the instrument of the Canaries, five strings, a short neck, and someone who plays it well is taken seriously here. That a public school teaches it alongside drums and electronic music says something precise about how Haría understands its own tradition: a living thing, not a museum piece.

Enrolment is at the town hall. If you're thinking about it, don't think too long: the places are counted.
