History
Established in 1911.
When Elizabeth Fyffe founded the All Newton Music School in 1911, she began a tradition of high quality music instruction for people in Newton. The dynamic Ms. Fyffe was a concert violinist, composer and writer of books on music instruction.
Originally housed in a kindergarten school in West Newton, the School developed a cooperative working relationship with the Newton Public Schools. In 1946, the Trustees acquired the School’s first real home, at the corner of Walnut and Cabot Streets. By 1965, under the leadership of Anne Gombosi, the School had outgrown the building and was able to purchase its current home on Chestnut Street. Mrs. Gombosi broadened the program to include students of all ages, and added brass, recorder, guitar, chamber and singing groups to the list of offerings. Boston Symphony Orchestra violinist, Ayrton Pinto served as Director from 1974 – 1976.
Pianist Andrew Wolf served as Director from 1977 through 1985 inaugurating a new era of growth. The breadth and scope
