General Information
The Music School in Tivat was founded on October 29th 1964. The founder of the School is the Municipality of Tivat. Since the school year 2005/06 a branch unit of the School has been opened in Radovići.
The school focuses its developmental policies on wind instruments.
It is important to emphasize that, as the first music school in Montenegro, we opened the department of BRASS WIND INSTRUMENTS (horn and trumpet) and only after a year after its opening, the branch achieved significant results at various competitions.
The school has also organized a series of concerts realized in cooperation with the Music Academy in Cetinje and the Chronicle of Bar festival. Through excellent cooperation with NGO Ars praesentia, international workshops for wind instruments have been realized for eleven years in a row in Tivat, which have been visited not only by the students of musical schools from Montenegro, but also from Italy, Germany, Japan, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, Spain, Cuba, etc.
The three-year long cooperation between Music School and the professors of wind instruments from the Royal Academy in Stockholm has contributed to the development of the wind instrument department, which is the School’s trademark also outside Montenegro. It is important to mention some of the eminent names who participated in the realization of wind instruments’ seminars, such as: Ljubiša Jovanović (flute - Serbia), Ognjen Popović and Veljko Klenkovski (clarinet – Serbia), Nenad Janković ( bassoon - Serbia), Milena and Boštjan Lipovšek (flute, horn – Slovenija), Guy Porat (oboe – Israel), Tibor Kerekeš (trumpet – Slovenia), Aleksandar Benčić (trombone – Serbia), Matej Šarc (oboe – Slovenia), Nataša Paklar Marković and Alenka Zupan (flute - Slovenia), Mladen Đorđević (trumpet – Serbia) and many others.
This is complemented by the numerous awards of our students at national and international competitions, which have contributed to our school’s becoming the leading institution for the development of wind instruments in Montenegro. With similar policies of development and the cooperation with many prominent artists and pedagogues, we have achieved the desired goals. In 2012/13, the first generation of students of secondary music school has been admitted, for wind instruments. Thanks to the license of the Ministry of Education and Sports, issued on 31/07/2012, the school realizes the training program of primary music education for the instruments: piano, accordion, guitar, percussions, oboe, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn and trombone and the program of secondary music education for the instruments: flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone and piano.
Since 2012/13, the official name of the school is Public Institution Music School Tivat.
The School Day is the 25th of November.
