Eighty-Eight Keys Music Academy

Premier Music School - Eighty‑Eight Keys Music Academy, Bahrain

Eighty‑Eight Keys Music Academy first stepped into the spotlight in 2016 with a clear motive: to provide high‑quality music education to individuals from all walks of life in Bahrain . Located in Jannusan, Budaiya, it quickly became known as a creative hub where dedication to musical arts meets professional instruction.

Establishment Year & History & Vision

Established in 2016, the Academy was founded by Olena Osika (and team) who envisioned a space where students—children and adults alike—could explore music in a supportive, inspiring environment. Since then, it has grown steadily, offering lessons across a wide variety of instruments and music theory disciplines.

Since its inception, Eighty‑Eight Keys has participated in cultural collaborations, such as performing at Bahrain Jazz Fest, marking its presence on the national music stage. The Academy has also partnered with schools in Bahrain to broaden the reach of music education for the academic year 2024/25 and beyond.

This ensures that students not only develop practical performance skills but also acquire solid grounding in theory, technique, and recognised credentialing.

• Instrumental lessons on piano, guitar, violin, trombone, and more
