NMA instructors are passionate about giving their students a well-rounded musical education. They focus on student needs from various backgrounds and educational learning styles. At NMA there is a heavy emphasis placed on music theory (sight reading, notation, chord construction, history, comprehension, improvisation, and transcription) which gives our students the crucial foundation to be a successful musician.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring out the musician in you! Everyone has a heartbeat and it's our heartbeat that is the centerpiece to all music. Music can bring out confidence in a child and the child the more mature.

This gives you the advantage to not only learn the fundamentals of music like sight reading, music theory, and notation, but also gives our students real hands-on experience in stage presence, band etiquette, and industry do's and don’ts.
