Neighborhood Music School

My daughter has been taking Suzuki lessons at NMS and it has been a wonderful learning experience for us both. But only sign up for Suzuki lessons if you are prepared to make a committment both in your own time time and in your child's learning process. If you make this committment, you will find your child grows both musically and developmentally through these lessons. more

My child's piano instructor is often late. She does not make up the time by allowing the class to run over or by offering another time. My impression is that it is at her convenience. I also notice that we are never credited for this difference. It is unprofessional. I have addressed my concern. I have not seen change. more

NMS is a local music school, catering to all ages and abilities for a variety of instruments, vocal styles, and dance forms. Starting with music-focused playgroups for toddlers, then branching out to individual and/or group lessons for children, teenagers and adults, and offering some supervised ensembles for advanced students, NMS is a "one stop shopping" for your music education needs. They're not your cheapest bet in the New Haven area, but they're probably your best. Their teachers are selected not just for their own musical accomplishments, but also for their abilities as educators. Your experiences will be professional and pleasant with NMS teachers. You can take classes in New Haven, or at branches in Guilford or Woodbridge. You're never too late to learn to play/sing/dance! (or, if you're already a musician, it's never too late to get better!) more
