Begun in 1986 as the DIECKOW STUDIO, the six
hour Marathon Concert on September 9th, 1990 launched the DIECKOW
SCHOOL OF MUSIC in its present form.
The school is a cooperative of selected performing,
artist teachers of piano, voice, guitar, violin, clarinet and flute in
the Hoboken and Jersey City areas who are dedicated not only to instilling
high-level musical skills in their students but also to the concept of
music as a live, performing medium—whether a student has studied one month
or twenty years, is five years old or seventy.
Students study in the home studios of their
individual teachers and perform regularly in the five DSM Marathon Concerts
held each year at the St. Matthew Trinity Lutheran Church in Hoboken and
in one Honors Concert each fall at Steinway Hall in New York City.
In addition to these school concerts, numerous
other faculty and guest concerts are presented to enable students and the
general public to extend their knowledge and appreciation through this
most important outlet of concert attendance.
