In 2012, “Hed” College merged with Ono Academic College. The development of the academic curriculum toward official degree accreditation was guided by the late composer and conductor Prof. Noam Sheriff, who served as Dean of the School until his passing in 2018.

In 2015, the School of Music completed its move to a state-of-the-art facility in Kiryat Ono, considered one of the most advanced music education buildings in Israel and beyond. The facility features acoustically engineered classrooms, ensemble rehearsal rooms, individual practice spaces, a computer lab, recording studios, and a cutting-edge performance studio.

Over the years, the School has become a nurturing home for aspiring musicians seeking the tools and training necessary to enter the music industry as performers, creators, arrangers, composers, producers, educators, and therapists.

The academic curriculum and faculty focus on developing students’ professional identities and business skills, alongside nurturing their musical talent and artistic expression.
