About Us

The New School of Music is a community music school for children & adults of all ages & levels. Located in Cambridge, MA, NSM offers programs in a non-competitive, student-centered learning environment taught by professional musicians with a passion for sharing their love of music. NSM offers private and group lessons, master classes, monthly student recitals, vacation programs, seasonal family events, and faculty and community concerts. We welcome all students regardless of race, orientation, national origin, or social economic level.

The New School of Music is located on the traditional and ancestral land of the Massachusett, the original inhabitants of what is now known as Boston and Cambridge. We pay respect to the people of the Massachusett Tribe, past and present, and honor the land itself which remains sacred to the Massachusett People.
