Nordenfeltska Musikskolan is a non-profit organization, led by a board of directors on a voluntary basis, where the activities are mainly financed by student fees and a small part by operating grants from Danderyd Municipality. The school has a part-time head of school position, while all our teachers are employed on a consultancy basis, the extent of which depends entirely on the student population for each semester. We have no private owners or principals who make money from our activities, but all our income goes directly back into the business.
We are living in challenging times. Music schools across Sweden are struggling with reduced student numbers and cut cultural budgets and we are unfortunately no exception. But we know that with your help, we can continue to be a place where children and adults can develop through music.
In 2008 we moved into our premises in the center of Stocksund, which we, together with the municipality, had renovated to suit our needs. After 17 years, we were unfortunately forced to leave the fine premises in 2024. The background to this was a sharp increase in rent from the property owner, who wanted to raise the rent by as much as 300% for our basement premises and 100% for the upstairs. At the same time, the municipality announced, due to the current recession and Danderyd municipality's financial challenges, that they would no longer be able to continue to give us the premises grant we have received since the expensive renovation in 2008. Nordenfeltska Musikskolan has always had a good and close cooperation with the municipality and Kulturskolan, however. However, as we are a non-profit music school and non-profit organization that always balances our costs carefully, the financial burden became too great. This forced us to start looking for a new venue, and with the help of the municipality, we managed to find the East Wing at Djursholm Castle. Although the new premises are more expensive per square meter than the one we had in Stocksund, the smaller area has enabled us to keep costs down.
We are grateful for your support during these challenging times and hope that you will continue to be part of Nordenfeltska Musikskolan's development. Our goal is to be a vibrant and inspiring place for all residents of Danderyd, and we look forward to
to grow together with you.
