The school's affordable pricing, starting from as low as AED 250 per month, coupled with a registration fee of AED 50, makes it an accessible option for budding musicians.

Thomsun Music Institute, a part of the Thomsun Group, has been serving the music education sector in Dubai for over two decades. With three music institutes located across different malls in Dubai, the institute offers training in violin, drums, guitar, saxophone, and piano, along with preparation for international board exams. These attributes make it a compelling choice for those looking for a more structured and formal approach to music education.

Melodica Music Academy, founded by pop star Afshin, is a KHDA-approved music school that caters to both adults and kids. With 23 branches across the UAE, including 18 in Dubai, Melodica boasts the largest network of music schools in the region. The academy's extensive range of instrumental and vocal training, as well as options for private and group lessons, has made it an ideal choice for over 50,000 students. Moreover, offerings like dance classes in ballet and hip-hop add more depth to the academy's diverse curriculum.

Rock Star Music & Dance, affiliated with the Trinity College of London, is another prominent music school located in Dubai Silicon Oasis. The school's certification and a team of certified instructors make it a credible choice for adults looking to carve a career in music. Budding musicians can learn various instruments such as guitar, piano, saxophone, violin, and drums, and also pursue recognized certifications from international boards.
